What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimPunarvasu in Brihat Jataka (16.4) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Punarvasu is devout and patient, good-natured and quiet, lives in comfort and is pleased with little. The verse also gives judgement that sometimes errs, frequent illness and a great thirst. (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.
Punarvasu gives the Moon its nature through Guru; pada 3 sends it into a Gemini navamsa, ruled by Budh. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Budh colours what Punarvasu gives.
By natural friendship Budh counts Guru neutral, and Guru counts Budh an enemy, so the two pull against each other and the pada asks for balance.
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.

No. Punarvasu is not one of the six Gand Mool nakshatras. Gand Mool are the six nakshatras on the seams where a water sign gives way to a fire sign: Ashwini, Magha and Mula, ruled by Ketu, and Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati, ruled by Budh. The Mool shanti is traditionally done on the 27th day after birth, when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra.
