Which pada of Jyeshtha was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Scorpio 16°40′ – 20° at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Jyeshtha and the naming syllable is No (నో). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
