The 4 padas of Shravana
| Pada | Degrees | Navamsa (D9) | Pada lord | Name syllable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | 280°00′–283°20′ | Mesha | Mars | Khi |
| Pada 2 | 283°20′–286°40′ | Mesha | Mars | Khu |
| Pada 3 | 286°40′–290°00′ | Mithuna | Mercury | Khe |
| Pada 4 | 290°00′–293°20′ | Karka | Moon | Kho |
Each pada is exactly one navamsa (3°20′), so the pada sets the D9 sign that refines a reading. The name syllable (akshar) is the traditional avakahada-chakra starting sound for a baby born in that pada — see baby names for Shravana →.
