Gand Mool nakshatra. Revati is one of the six Gand Mool nakshatras; many families keep a Mool shanti for a birth in any of its padas, though the junction pada is read as the stronger.
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.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimRevati in Brihat Jataka (16.14) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Revati is well formed in body, liked by everyone, deeply learned and wealthy, and never covets what belongs to others. (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.
Revati gives the Moon its nature through Budh; pada 2 sends it into a Capricorn navamsa, ruled by Shani. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Shani colours what Revati gives.
By natural friendship Shani counts Budh a friend, and Budh counts Shani neutral, so the navamsa neither helps nor hinders much.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: an earth navamsa makes this an Artha pada, turned towards livelihood, wealth and security.
Names for Do (दो)
the naam akshar of this pada, for a namkaranAlmost no Hindi names begin with Do (दो). Families then often choose a name that begins with the nearest sound, or one of the nakshatra’s other syllables, and use Do in the namkaran rite itself.
