Pada, Navamsha & Pada Lord Details
Beyond the starting syllable, each pada of Uttara Ashadha maps to a navamsha (D9) rashi with its own lord. Pandits weigh the pada lord alongside the nakshatra ruler (sun) when finalising a name in the Namkaran Sanskar:
| Pada | Syllable | Navamsha rashi | Pada lord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | Bhe (भे) | Dhanu | Jupiter |
| Pada 2 | Bho (भो) | Makar | Saturn |
| Pada 3 | Ja (जा) | Kumbh | Saturn |
| Pada 4 | Ji (जी) | Meen | Jupiter |
Nakshatra Significance
Uttara Ashadha (उत्तराषाढ़ा) is the 21st nakshatra in the 27-nakshatra system. Its presiding deity is Vishvadevas, with sun as the ruling graha. The symbol — Elephant tusk/planks of bed — characterises the qualities this nakshatra confers on those born under it.
The gana for Uttara Ashadha is manushya, 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.
Uttara Ashadha spans 266.667°–280° of the zodiac and is classed as a fixed nakshatra of manushya nature. Classically it signifies final_victory, leadership, endurance, universal — themes elders often echo in the meaning of the name chosen for a Uttara Ashadha-born child.
Nadi & Gana — Matching Context for Uttara Ashadha Babies
Uttara Ashadha 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 Uttara Ashadha-born traditionally checks against are: Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Shravana, Revati.
Its gana is manushya — shared with Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Purva Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada. 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.
