About this entry
Uttara Bhadrapada covers 3 degrees 20 minutes to 16 degrees 40 minutes of Pisces. Saturn's Vimshottari dasha of 19 years belongs to it, and one pada equals one navamsa, a ninth of a sign, so its four are Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. Revati is the nakshatra after it.
Iyer's translation of the entry lists an able speaker, happiness, children and grandchildren, victory over enemies and virtue. Every item in it is favorable. The two editions give it in the same words.
