Which pada of Mula was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Sagittarius 0° – 3°20′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Mula and the naming syllable is Ye (యే). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
