Which pada of Rohini was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Taurus 10° – 13°20′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Rohini and the naming syllable is O (ఓ). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
