Since 1979 · Ph.D. (Delhi University) · M.A. Acharya · Jul 2026
What you need to know
A baby born in Ashlesha nakshatra (Karka (Cancer)) takes a name beginning with one of its four pada syllables — Di, Du, De, Do — the exact pada fixed by the Moon's precise position at birth. Below: 32 pure Vedic names with meanings for every pada, the nakshatra's full classical profile and honest Gand Mool pada-verdicts.
Nagas
Rakshasa
Marjara (cat)
Antya
coiled serpent
Karka (Cancer)
Rakshasa gana — the intense temperament: sharp instincts, fearless, penetrating (a strength, not a flaw). The yoni (Marjara (cat)) and nadi (Antya) matter later in kundli-matching — noted here so the name-record stays complete.
Ashlesha is a Gand Mool nakshatra — graded pada-by-pada above, answered by one shanti on the 27th day when the nakshatra returns (the tool computes the exact date). It is a note in the chart, not a verdict on the child — read the honest guide.
