Which pada of Chitra was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Virgo 23°20′ – 26°40′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Chitra and the naming syllable is Pe (పే). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
