Every Nakshatra is segmented into 4 quarters of 3°20' each. Each Pada activates a specific Navamsha rashi and planetary influence:
| Pada | Arc Span | Navamsha Rashi | Navamsha Lord | Auspicious Syllable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | 10°00' – 13°20' Vrishabha | Mesha (Aries) | Mars | O (ओ) |
| Pada 2 | 13°20' – 16°40' Vrishabha | Vrishabha (Taurus) | Venus | Va (वा) |
| Pada 3 | 16°40' – 20°00' Vrishabha | Mithuna (Gemini) | Mercury | Vi (वी) |
| Pada 4 | 20°00' – 23°20' Vrishabha | Karka (Cancer) | Moon | Vu (वू) |
Chant the canonical hymns dedicated to the cosmic rulers of the Nakshatras.
Rohini is the favored consort of the Moon where Chandra is exalted, and it is the sacred Janma Nakshatra of Bhagavan Sri Krishna.
