Uttara Bhadrapada
The deity of Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra is Ahir Budhanya, the water dragon who sleeps at
the bottom of the ocean. The word “Ahirbudhanya” is composed of two words Ahi (serpent) and
budhnam (bottom) so the word literally means the serpent of the bottom. Ahirbudhanya is one of
the 11 Rudras and he is the god of fertility and Kundalini. He is considered as the son of
Vishwakarma, the celestial architect. Ahirbudhanya is a cloud or serpent of the atmosphere.
Rudras are connected with atmosphere. The nakshatra of Uttara Bhadrapada provides rains and
hence, provide the necessary element for life support on the Earth.
Goddess Lakshmi, who is always at the feet of God Vishnu is also connected with this
nakshatra. The animal of this nakshatra is Cow, which also brings about the connection to the
Divine cow Kamadhenu, the mother of all cows, and the wish- fulfilling cow.

Sage Narada is supposed to have decided an argument between Lakshmi and Saturn, in
deciding who was greatest, by diplomatically saying both were equal in the sense that when
Lakshmi came, power came into one’s life, and when Saturn left, power came into one’s life.
