  • opening and grasping,

  • and handicraft...

David Frawley , Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra

"Savitar desired, "May the Gods place their faith in me."

One who makes the appropriate offering to Savitar, to Hasta, men place faith in him.

He becomes the Sun among his peers.

People born under Hasta want to be believed in And want others to have faith in them.

They regard themselves as capable of great achievements and can serve to rally and inspire people around them."
