As per the Vedas (Udakashanti) the nakshatram series starts with Krittika and ends with Bharani. But in common usage, we treat that the series starts with Ashvini and ends with Revati. What is the reason behind this? What is the name of Svati nakshatram in the Vedas? How does Desikan refer to Periyazhvar nakshatram in the relevant pasuram of Prabandha Saaram?

This is the series mentioned by the Jyothisha Shastra, and useful for referencing the Rasi; Svati is called Nishtya in the Vedas. Azhwar has sung as ‘sOthi’.
