Uttara Bhadrapada
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is the 26th Nakshatra as per Hindu astrology.
Uttara Bhadra is ruled by Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the depths of the atmosphere.
Ahir Budhnya, the benefic serpent of the depths of the Atmosphere, symbolizes fertility, kundalini energy, and need for seclusion that is experienced in this nakshatra. It brings the power of rain and stability and connects us with the creative powers at the foundations of the world. There can be tremendous psychic ability and a snake-like quality that allows Uttara Bhādrapadā people to explore all the nooks and crannies of life. This serpent of the primeval depths, which can also refer to the depths of the sky, suggets both movement and seclusion (or maybe even movement in seclusion or secrecy), as well as an implication of solitude and retirement. Like Ajaikapada, Ahirbudhnya can reference the power that the Tantrikas call the Kundalini Shakti, an energy which once activated initiates a process of spiritual evolution which climaxes in supreme wisdom, knowledge, enlightenment, and sometimes extraordinary abilities or awareness.
The Ahirbudhnya Saṃhitā belongs to the Pancharatra religion, is a Vaishnava tantrika composition, and was composed possibly over several centuries within the 1st millennium of the Common Era, after 300 CE. Ahirbudhnya-Saṃhitā literally means a compendium (Samhita) of the serpent-from-the-depths (from ahi for serpent and budhna for bottom / root). In the Ahirbudhnya Samhita, Vishnu emanated in 39 different forms. The Samhita is characteristic for its concept of Sudarshana. It provides mantras for Shakti and Sudarshana and details the method of worship of the multi-armed Sudarshana. Its chapters include explanations on the origin of astras (weapons), anga (mantras), Vyuhas, sounds, and diseases, how to make Sudarshana Purusha appear, how to resist divine weapons and black magic, and provides method for making and worshipping the Sudarshana Yantra
The Ahirbudhnya recognizes one of the eleven Rudras; that is Shiva himself in his Satvik form, in the form of a teacher. In the Veda ahi budhna (serpent of the bottom) is an atmospheric god who Schrader says merged with Rudra-Siva (Pashupati); with Ahi Budhanya in later Vedic texts connected to Agni Grahapatya, suggesting this was a benevolent being and not the malevolent Ahi Vritra. Ahirbudhnya and Aja-Ekapada had their share of allocated ghriya (Grihyasutra) rituals. In later puranic literature, Ahirbudhnaya becomes one of the 11 Rudras.
