Pada, Navamsha & Pada Lord Details
Beyond the starting syllable, each pada of Shravana maps to a navamsha (D9) rashi with its own lord. Pandits weigh the pada lord alongside the nakshatra ruler (moon) when finalising a name in the Namkaran Sanskar:
| Pada | Syllable | Navamsha rashi | Pada lord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | Ju (जू) | Mesh | Mars |
| Pada 2 | Je (जे) | Vrishabh | Venus |
| Pada 3 | Jo (जो) | Mithun | Mercury |
| Pada 4 | Gha (घ) | Karka | Moon |
Nakshatra Significance
Shravana (श्रवण) is the 22nd nakshatra in the 27-nakshatra system. Its presiding deity is Vishnu, with moon as the ruling graha. The symbol — Three footprints/ear — characterises the qualities this nakshatra confers on those born under it.
The gana for Shravana is deva, used in Ashtakoota matching. The Nadi is antya — same-Nadi marriages are traditionally avoided (Nadi Dosha), while different-Nadi pairings are considered ideal for health compatibility.
Shravana spans 280°–293.333° of the zodiac and is classed as a movable nakshatra of deva nature. Classically it signifies listening, learning, connection, media — themes elders often echo in the meaning of the name chosen for a Shravana-born child.
Nadi & Gana — Matching Context for Shravana Babies
Shravana belongs to the Antya (Kapha) Nadi. In Ashtakoota matching, a partner born in the same Nadi scores 0 of 8 in the Nadi koota (Nadi Dosha). The other Antya-Nadi nakshatras a Shravana-born traditionally checks against are: Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Revati.
Its gana is deva — shared with Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Revati. Gana describes innate temperament in the Gan koota (6 points), which is why elders often ask for the nakshatra, not just the rashi, when a match is discussed.
