Nakshatra, pada and rashi

Bakul starts with the syllable Va (वा), which the Avakahada chakra gives to Rohini pada 2, in Vrishabha (Taurus) 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.
