What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimMrigashira in Brihat Jataka (16.3) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Mrigashira is capable, a good speaker, active, wealthy and fond of pleasure. The verse adds that such a person is timid and not always steady in their principles. (Chapter 16 reads several nakshatras in each verse, one after another.) The text reads the nakshatra as a whole; the pada refines it through its navamsa, below.
Mrigashira gives the Moon its nature through Mangal; pada 3 sends it into a Libra navamsa, ruled by Shukra. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Shukra colours what Mrigashira gives.
By natural friendship Shukra counts Mangal neutral, and Mangal counts Shukra neutral, so the navamsa neither helps nor hinders much.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: an air navamsa makes this a Kama pada, turned towards desire, relationships and enjoyment.

The Mool shanti is traditionally done on the 27th day after birth, when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra.
