Krittika nakshatra
Krittika is the 3rd of the 27 nakshatras, spanning Aries 26°40′ – Taurus 10°00′. Its lord is the Sun: someone born with the Moon here begins life in the Sun's mahadasha. Its gana is Rakshasa (Demonic), its nadi Antya (End) and its yoni Sheep (Mesha) — the three that Kundali Milan compares. The four padas give the name syllables A, I, U, E.
