> It is apt to call the star krittika as agni nakshatra.
>
> The Lord of the star is Sun, which is at its exalted level at Aries
> where the head of Krittika is situated.
>
> The ati-devatha of the star is Agni.
>
> The Lord of the house where the star begins is Mars, the planet for fire.
>
> The sign, Aries is also the sign of fire.
>
> Just opposite to this 7 -paada stretch is the sun's debilitation
> starting from Vishaka -1 to Anusham 3 stretching between Thulaam and
> Vrischika (months of Ippasi & kaarthigai)
>
> In contrast to the firey agni nakshtra period, this period is a cool
> 'deepam' period.
>
> When the sun enters vishaka -1 in Ippasi, this is in direct opposition
> to the exaltation, and coincides with the 180 degree distance from
> Bharani -3. The 6th day counted from this is shashti - the soora
> samharam day.
>
> If the agni nakshtram stands for the hot conditions that preceeded and
> prevailed at the time of creation (cosmic level), the opposite period
> stands for destruction of enemies at the mundane level.
>
> On shashti, the sun has moved 2 paadams more and will be in Mithuna
> (where arudra, signifying destruction, predominates) in navamsa -
> directly opposite to dhanus where shashti falls.
>
> Thus for destruction of enemies, the sun, mars, vishaka & krittika
> combination is required.
> When it happens at the descending side, events happen on earth.
> When it happens at the ascending side, it is about combustion in the
> heavens.
>
> Another interesting information about krittika is that it Lords over
> the best of all weapons, the sword.The sword is the best of all
> weapons according to Bhishma, who from his arrow bed narrateed the
> story of the sword that the Pandavas had come to possess (the details
> of this appears in Shanthi parva)
>
> This sword has krittika as nakshatra, Rohini as gotra, Agni as the
> deity and Rudra as the Maharishi.
>
> In this 7 -paada sojourn of the sun in opposition to Krittika is the
> famous kaarthigai deepam - signifying heat in cool conditions or heat
> considerably cooled. This occurs directly opposite to the agni
> nakshtra period.
