About Hasta Nakshatra
Hasta is the 13th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology. It is ruled by Moon (చంద్రుడు) and falls under Kanya (Virgo) (కన్య రాశి). Babies born under Hasta nakshatra are traditionally named with syllables starting with Pu, Sha, Na, Tha (పు, ష, ణ, థ), corresponding to the four padas of this nakshatra.
The naming tradition (Namakaranam) is based on the Moon's precise position at the time of birth. Each pada spans 3°20' of the zodiac and prescribes a unique starting syllable. This ensures the baby's name resonates with their birth star's energy and the planetary influence of Moon.
