Mūla · मूल
The lunar mansion 0°00′ – 13°20′ Dhanu of the sidereal zodiac — its presiding deity as the Garuḍa Purāṇa states it, its Vimśottarī lord as the engine computes it, and the Purāṇic passages that actually name it. Cited context; never a forecast.

The four pādas of Mūla
Each nakṣatra spans 13°20′, divided into four quarters of 3°20′. A pāda’s navāṃśa (the ninth division, D9) is what a chart reading leans on when the birth time is known — computed here, not asserted.
