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 4 sends it into a Cancer navamsa, ruled by Chandra. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Chandra colours what Punarvasu gives.
By natural friendship Chandra counts Guru neutral, and Guru counts Chandra a friend, so the navamsa neither helps nor hinders much.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: a water navamsa makes this a Moksha pada, turned towards release, inner life and letting go.

Is Punarvasu pada 4 gand mool?
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.
