Nakshatra, pada and rashi

Arun starts with the syllable A (अ), which the Avakahada chakra gives to Krittika pada 1, in Mesha (Aries) rashi. By tradition it suits a child whose Moon was in that pada at birth.

The fit comes from the name's first sound only; the Moon's nakshatra pada at birth is calculated in the Kundli.

Name number (numerology)
