#Ardra is the brightest star in the #Orion #constellation. It is also known as the Star of Sorrow and the Star of Oppression. Symbolized by #teardrop, Ardra natives are tested intensely, and their life lessons are hard-learned.
Their hardships hold testimony to their success, which comes during later stages of life. The presiding deity – #Rudra and the ruling planet – #Rahu brings confusion and chaos to the lives of people born under the star.
But they also bring in intense hunger for knowledge and lose themselves in quests to quench their thirst for knowledge.
They are bold and are straightforward. The natives are highly sensitive, and more than often, emotions cloud their judgments, making them think from the heart rather than the mind.

This Sookta dedicated to Nakshatra's was recorded (Drashtaara) by Gargya #Rishi. The Sookta describes both astronomical and astrological elements. Twenty eight Nakshatras are identified starting with #Krittika and reference is made to Ayanam occurring in Maghaa. A nakshatra Abhijit is shown between Uttarashadha and Shravana. Its use has been discontinued in the Jyotishya with only twenty seven identified currently. The authenticity of the Athrarvana texts is well accepted, by the very reverence shown towards precise learning. Hundreds of generations of Shrotreeya's have carried veda's down to us in its original language using oral traditions of Krama, Pada, Jatha, and Ghana Paatha so that distortions are nonexistent. Two major astronomical time markers are evident and implicit in the Sooktha. They are,

  1. Rishi Gargya starts the list of twenty seven nakshatra's starting with Krittika. Choice of Krittika as the first of twenty-seven is very significant. In contrast Jyotishya Shaastra uses Ashwini as the first star. The choice of first Nakshatra must correspond to a logically first day of a solar year, which dictates the weather cycles. Which is the year’s first day? Astronomically speaking, the spring Equinox day in Northern Hemisphere temperate zone is a logical one. It heralds the arrival of the spring, in temperate zone of northern hemisphere of the earth. Vasantha ritu, the spring has always been considered as beginning of a year from Rig-vedic times. Hence, the first observation implicit in Rishi Gargya's sooktha is that on spring Equinox day, Sun was at Krittika Nakshatra. Figure 13 shows Sun location on March 21, 2400 BC from Load Star Pro. The Sun is on equator and is pointing to Krittika nakshatra.
