Frequently asked questions
What letters should a Revati nakshatra baby's name start with?
A child born with the Moon in Revati is traditionally named with a syllable matching their pada: De (pada 1), Do (pada 2), Cha (pada 3), or Chi (pada 4).
Why does the naming syllable depend on the pada?
Each nakshatra spans four padas (quarters) of 3°20' each, and the avakahada chakra assigns one sound to each quarter. Naming by the birth-pada sound is believed to keep the name resonant with the child's janma nakshatra.
How do I know my baby's exact pada?
The pada is fixed by the Moon's longitude at the birth minute, so an accurate birth time matters. The JYTS.H app computes the nakshatra and pada from Swiss Ephemeris data in seconds.
