22. Shravana (Śravaṇa (Śroṇā)) — 280° 00' to 293° 20'

Q: What is the canonical definition of Shravana Nakshatra (280° 00' to 293° 20') — 4 Padas, Deity, Navamsa D9 & Shastra Concordance (NAKSH-01) in sidereal Jyotish?

Shravana is governed in the Vimshottari Dasha cycle by Chandra (10 Years) and presided over by the Vedic deity Vishnu (Preserver of Cosmic Order and the Three Strides). Its astronomical junction star (Yoga Tara) is identified with Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Aquilae (Altair, Alshain, and Tarazed), and its inherent power is Samhanana Shakti (power of listening, connecting, and preserving oral tradition).

In classical Sanskrit positional astronomy, Shravana (Śravaṇa (Śroṇā)) is the 22-numbered lunar mansion spanning 10° 00' to 23° 20' Makara (Capricorn) (280° 00' to 293° 20' of the sidereal ecliptic). Within the vectorized corpus (jyotish_corpus_core_v3), Shravana is directly indexed across 313 verified passages and 113 numbered shlokas in 13 Sanskrit treatises.

02 · FOUR PADAS & NAVAMSA (D9) HARMONIC MAPPING

The Four 3° 20' Padas of Shravana & Ninth-Harmonic Dispositors

The lunar mansion Shravana divides into four equal quarters (Padas) of 3° 20' (200 arc-minutes each) that project directly into the Navamsa (D9) harmonic chart. In Shravana, this four-fold partition links the sidereal longitude in Makara to four consecutive Navamsa signs and phonetic seed syllables (Aksharas).

According to Brihat Samhita Chapter 98 Verse 12 and Chapter 101 Verse 22 and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 46 Verses 96 to 99, Shravana carries a chara and chala (movable and receptive) temperament and a deva (divine) classification. Within the ecliptic structure of Shravana, Pada 2 (13°20'–16°40' Makara) is a Pushkara Navamsa in Vrishabha (D9).

Pada & Degree Span	Navamsa (`D9`) Sign	`D9` Ruler & Syllable	Classical Pada Delineation
`Pada 1 (10°00' – 13°20' Makara)`	`Mesha (Aries D9)`	Mangala (`"Khi"`)	Executive quarter combining Capricorn discipline with Martian vigor for decisive governance in Shravana.
`Pada 2 (13°20' – 16°40' Makara)`	`Vrishabha (Taurus D9)`	Shukra (`"Khu"`)	Pushkara Navamsa earth-to-earth quarter where nakshatra lord Chandra is exalted in `D9`, ideal for scholarship.
`Pada 3 (16°40' – 20°00' Makara)`	`Mithuna (The Twins D9)`	Budha (`"Khe"`)	Philological and acoustic quarter mastering Vedic recitation, linguistics, and knowledge transmission in Shravana.
`Pada 4 (20°00' – 23°20' Makara)`	`Karka (Cancer D9)`	Chandra (`"Kho"`)	Own-sign lunar Navamsa quarter bestowing deep receptivity, public trust, and institutional memory in Shravana.
