The deities are apas, the cosmic waters depicted as the emergent waters spreading in all directions and giving rise to the connection of humanity. There is also mention of Varuna, the abode god of protecting the oceans and giving rain. Lord Varuna pervades all things, representing the inner law of the Higher Truth. It is also related to the concept of spreading your name and fame across the world. Venus gives the person the power of intuition and other higher powers. This greater sensitivity and alertness are the most important qualifications for transformation and spirituality. An extraordinary result of Purvashadha is the discovery of new possibilities.

Teeth are the most valuable part of the elephant’s body, a kind of externalization of the animal’s inner possibilities.

The shadow side of this lunar mansion is of excessive pride and arrogance. Exhibiting an over-detailed nature, and doing whatever they like, without considering the opinions of others. They are good debaters and can beat anyone in debate. They can become obstinate to the extent of not obeying the demands of others. Mental aggression and self-deception may be seen. If the person surrenders to the will of God, then the purification and purification of pride and ego can be achieved.
