Preface
(i) As you all know that the Sixth Nakshatra is Ardra
Nakshatra ruled by Rudra and Rudra is also known as Shiva. There are several
who believe that the auspicious form of Parmatma id Shiva and his aggressive
form is Rudra and it is the reason that person born in Ardra Nakshatra have
been allotted unfair results in the texts on Vedic Jyotish like 1. Brihit
Jataka 2. Horaratnam 3. Maansagri but how far is it true it will be discussed
in this Article.
(ii) In श्वेताश्वेतारा उपनिषद (Shwetshwetaara
Upnishada) Rudra is presented as only one Parmatma and Shiva is Rudra so
the Ardra Nakshatra comes under the ownership of Rudra or Shiva. In Brihit
Jataka the Ardra Nakshatra is called as Rudra Nakshatra whereas in Horaratnam
this Ardra Nakshatra is called as Shiva Nakshatra and it will be further
discussed in this Article
(iii) It always surprised me from three decades that not a
single Astrologer raised this issue. Vedic Jyotish is based on either common
sense or on Vedic Knowhow.
(iv) The Ardra means the water vapors and it is used as
auspicious in Durgasaptshati where one of the qualities of Vedic Goddess Durga
is Sarvoupkaarkarnaay Sadaardrachita i.e.
her heart is always filled with water to do welfare of other and Durga is
Parvati the Shakti of Shiva even though unfair results have been allotted to
Ardra Born people in Vedic Jyotish. This will also be discussed in this
Article.

Chapter (I)
Ardra Nakshatra As Described In Brihit Jataka
(i) The following Figure show the concerned Sanskrit Shloka
about Ardra Nakshatra
(ii) According to Varahamihira the Rudra Nakshatra (Ardra)
Born are Shathgarvit, Ungrateful, Violent and Sinner.
Note: The Sanskrit Word Shathgarvit can be translated
as a person who feels proud in displaying his wickedness.
(iii) Several of you can opine that the Raodra form of Rudra
create destruction bur Swhetashwetasha Upnishada described only one Rudra who
creates, operates and destructs the infinite Universes and thus this logic is
not sufficient to allot unfair results to Ardra Born people
(iv) There are several who opine that the Ardra Nakshatra is
ruled by Rahu so but it can be contradicted on the grounds that in Brihit
Jataka neither Varahamihira mentioned Rahu nor Vinshottri Dasha.
Note: Brihit Jataka was written several centuries before the
writing of Horaratnam and Maansagri.

Chapter (II)
Ardra Nakshatra As Described In Horaratnam
(i) The following Figure show the concerned Sanskrit Shloka
about Ardra Nakshatra as described in Horaratnam as Shiva Nakshatra:
(i) According to Horaratnam the person born in Shiva Nakshatra is skilled in Tantrik Kriya,
Brave, expert in sale & purchase, torture cows, outrageous & ungrateful
Note: In aforesaid Sanskrit Shloka of Horaratnam
person born in Shiva Nakshatra tortures the cows and it should be noted that
Shiva likes his Bull so how can the people born in Shiva Nakshatra torture
cows?
Note: The Vedic Jyotish text Horaratnam considers
Rahu so it may be said that one born in Ardra can harm cows and other
creatures. But Shiva wears the garland of Snake (Rahu) so how can Snake (Rahu) hurt
his Bull (A member of Cow Family) so this logic is also inappropriate.
Note: The Cow Torturing described in Horaratnam
should not take to its literal value. There are many sins described in Vedic Literatures
equal to the sins coming out of torturing cows.

Chapter (III)
Ardra Nakshatra As Described In Maansagri
(i) The following Figure shows the concerned Sanskrit Shloka
about Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Jyotish text Maansagri:
(ii) The person born in Ardra Nakshatra is 1. Ungrateful 2.
Angery 3. Sinner & Wicked and he is without wealth & food.
Note: In Vedic Jyotish text Maansagri the unfair
results have been allotted to Ardra Born
***************
Chapter (IV)
Shiva The Pashupati
(i) In Vedic Literatures Shiva is also called Pashupati or
the lord of Animals. The following Sanskrit Mantra from Linga Purana describes
this:
(i) Starting from community of gods (Devta) ending to the
community of ghosts (Pischaacha) all the communities coming in between are
Animals (Pashu) and thus their owner (Pati) that supreme god Bhavh is
remembered as Pashupati.
(ii) Indra (King of Devas) has a definite life and he also commits
sins equivalent to those of torturing the cows. He always tries to maintain his
empire by playing dirty politics so the superior community also acts like
Animal (Pashu) and now you can also imagine for other communities (Yonis)
(iii) Thus keeping this in view Varahamihira allotted unfair
resultsto Ardra Born.
