What syllable starts baby names for Shatabhisha Nakshatra Pada 2?

Baby names for Shatabhisha Nakshatra Pada 2 start with the Vedic akshara Sa (सा in Devanagari). This syllable is assigned to the specific 3°20' arc of the zodiac — 10°00' to 13°20' Aquarius — that this pada occupies. Traditional Namakarana (naming ceremony) selects the first sound of the child's name from this akshara based on where the Moon was at the moment of birth.

Which deity and planetary lord govern Shatabhisha Nakshatra?

Shatabhisha Nakshatra is presided over by the deity Varuna and ruled by the planet Rahu. The Nakshatra's symbol is the Empty circle, 100 flowers or stars, and its traditional meaning is 'Hundred Healers, Hundred Physicians'. In Pada 2 specifically, the pada element is Air, its nature is Rakshasa, and its guna (fundamental quality) is Tamas. These attributes influence the character traits traditionally associated with children born under this exact Pada.

Is Shatabhisha Nakshatra Pada 2 auspicious for a baby name?

In Vedic tradition, the auspiciousness of a Nakshatra depends on multiple factors: the presiding deity, the ruling planet, the Pada's nature (Deva, Manushya, or Rakshasa), and the position of the Moon in the Pada at the child's exact birth time. Shatabhisha Pada 2 has a Rakshasa nature — Deva padas are considered divine and universally auspicious, Manushya padas are human-natured and balanced, and Rakshasa padas require careful Muhurta consultation. The most reliable check is to generate the child's full birth chart and verify no dosha (like Ganda Moola) needs a Shanti Puja before Namakarana.

How is the baby's Janma Nakshatra and Pada determined?

The Janma Nakshatra and Pada are determined by the exact sidereal longitude of the Moon at the moment of birth, converted to the caller's timezone. The zodiac is divided into 27 Nakshatras of 13°20' each; each Nakshatra is further split into 4 Padas of 3°20' each — giving 108 Padas in total (the same sacred 108 that appears throughout Vedic tradition). The Moon's position falls in exactly one Pada, which determines the assigned akshara (syllable) — in this case, Sa for Shatabhisha Pada 2. Use the Nakshatrica birth chart tool with an accurate birth time to identify your child's exact Pada.

Do the names shown here work for both Vedic (Janma) and everyday (Vyavaharika) use?

About Shatabhisha Nakshatra Pada 2

The syllable and its origin

All Vedic baby names on this page begin with the akshara Sa (Devanagari: सा). This syllable is assigned to the specific 3°20′ arc of the sidereal zodiac — 10°00' to 13°20' Aquarius — that Shatabhisha Nakshatra Pada 2 occupies. In the traditional Namakarana (naming ceremony), the first sound of the child's Vedic name is selected from this akshara based on where the Moon was at the exact moment of birth. The 27 Nakshatras × 4 Padas each produce the 108 aksharas of the Vedic naming system — the same sacred 108 that appears throughout Vedic tradition (mala beads, deity names, Upanishads).
