Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra
the universal star — lasting victory.
Uttara Ashadha is nakshatra number 21 of the twenty-seven, ruled by Sun and presided over by The Vishwadevas. Its symbol is the elephant tusk; planks of a cot, its temperament Manusha, and in the Nakṣatra-puruṣa it governs the thighs & waist.
