- The figure shows Mithuna raashi or the Gemini Constellation. The vedic Jyotishya states that this Raashi consists of Mrigashira (50% in Mithuna), Aardhra(100% in Mithuna) and Punarvasu(75% in Mithuna). Their ranges, from table 1, are shown as vertical lines. - R.H.Allen’s identifies Betelguese (Ori-58a) as Aardhra (Ref-1,page 311). Balakrishna identifies Al-Hena as Aardhra. - R.H.Allen identifies Castor as Punarvasu (Ref-1,Page 331), while Balakrishna identifies Pollux as Punarvasu. - Clearly the proposed identities of these nakshathra’s are different. Allen’s Aardhra is within 5 degrees of his Mrigashira and is a part of constellation Orion. It is 16 degrees away from ecliptic. Balakrishna’s identities are within the proper range of Nakshathra’s. Also they are within 2 degrees of moon traverse band.
