Which pada of Vishakha was your baby born in?

The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Libra 20° – 23°20′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Vishakha and the naming syllable is Ti (తీ). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
