Nakshatra, pada and rashi

Kanan starts with the syllable Ka (का), which the Avakahada chakra gives to Mrigashira pada 3, in Mithuna (Gemini) 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.
