Nakshatra, pada and rashi

Purva starts with the syllable Pu (पू), which the Avakahada chakra gives to Hasta pada 1, in Kanya (Virgo) rashi. By tradition it suits a child whose Moon was in that pada at birth.

पूPu
Nakshatra
Hasta
pada
1
Rashi of this pada
Kanya (Virgo)

The four syllables of Hasta:

  1. pada 1पूPu
  2. pada 2षSha
  3. pada 3णNa
  4. pada 4ठTha

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)

In the Chaldean system the letters of “Purva” add up to 23, which reduces to 5; Indian numerology associates 5 with Mercury (Budh).
