    Anurādhā f.: Name of the seventeenth

    Nakṣatra.

    A. Religious rites: If one gives under

    the Nakṣatra Anurādhā, after observing fast,

    a gift of a covering (prāvāra) and another

    cloth (vastrāntara), he is glorified in the

    heaven for a hundred Yugas 13. 63. 22; if

    one offers a śrāddha under Anurādhā he

    establishes a line of kings (?rājacakram

    pravartayet) 13. 89. 8. B. Bad omens:

    Among the bad omens reported by Karṇa to

    Kṛṣṇa there was one which referred to the

    retrograde motion of Mars (Aṅgāraka) in

    Jyeṣṭhā and his wooing Anurādhā thereby as

    though tranquilizing the Maitra Nakṣatra-

    yoga (kṛtvā cāṅgārako vakraṃ jyeṣṭhāyāṃ

    madhusūdana/anurādhāṃ prārthayate

    maitraṃ saṃśamayann iva) 5. 141. 8 (For

    Nī. comm. see Aṅgāraka).
