Meaning: earlier auspicious one "Purvabhadrapada" translates into - "the former (one who possesses) lucky feet". Its alternative name is "Purvaproshthapada", which translates into "the former (one who possesses) the feet of a stool". These translations clearly highlight the problems one encounters when translating Sanskrit terms into English. The above translations seem odd and confusing and don't seem to convey much regarding the nature or functioning of this asterism. As we shall find out later they just relate to its ruling deity.

God: Ajaikapat Ajaikapada, meaning a shepherd is one of the eleven Rudras. They are the howling, terrible gods of storms. They devoured human flesh, drank blood, praised Shivaand made merry. They are dwarfish, deformed, resemble various abhorrent creatures and roam the earth. There is another connotation given to Ajaikapada spelt as ‘Aja ekapada' meaning the unborn with one leg. This is said to be one of the forms of the father with whom the serpent demon Vritra is identified.
