~~ Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionary

 

"Ahir Budhnya desired, "May I find a foundation." One who makes the appropriate offering to Ahir Budhnya, to Uttara Bhadra, gains a foundation.

Uttara Bhadra grants a firm foundation in life, connecting us with the wellsprings of vitality, the serpent who dwells in the middle of the sea."

~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra


"The two Bhadrapada mansions together form the rectangle of stars known in the West as the Square of Pegasus: this is of course the bed in question....

The two Bhadrapadas may also be symbolized as a two-headed man, resembling the Fire God Agni. The word Prostha 'stool' sounds very much like the word Prosta 'burnt' and these mansions are thought of as having a fiery quality" 

~~ Roebuck, Circle, p. 101


 

Uttarabhadrapada, for females:


"... affectionate to her husband. She is generous and is a good helper in bad circumstances. Her nature is forgiving

She is careful in any work she undertakes. She never indulges in silly or irrelevant discussions and will always answer straight to the point."


~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 101. 



 

Uttarabhadrapada, for males: 


"...most fortunate... usually indicates a man of means, well-to-do if not wealthy. A man who owns property and has the ability to earn money and also to spend it wisely and constructively. 

Being a passive type, his well-being may be inherited or bequeathed to him but if he achieves his own success he will do so without the corollary of someone else's misfortune. 

He is very intelligent and is charitable and generous to those less fortunate than himself."


~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 85.
