Which pada of Swati was your baby born in?
The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Libra 6°40′ – 10° at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Swati and the naming syllable is Ru (రూ). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
