  • ↔Orientation of the sidereal zodiac to the galactic center (Frawley's interpretation)Modern
    Frawley pairs Jyeshtha ('the eldest', covering the end of Scorpio) with Mula as the series-END under the galactic-center orientation: Mula(root/start)-Jyeshtha(eldest/end) is his evidence the ancients knew of and oriented their nakshatra sequence to the galactic center. Jyeshtha marks the opposite pole of the orientation the rule describes.
