The story of Yama and Chaya

After Surya Dev's wife Sanjana left to live in the forest as she could not bear the heat of her husband, she left her Shadow image, Chaya. Chaya was to look after Surya Dev and his children, Manu, Yama, Ashwins, and Yami. Surya Dev's children looked up to Chaya as a motherly figure and loved and adored her the most. However, tables turned once she had her own children when Surya dev mistakenly took her for Sanjana. After that, her attention was diverted from Surya's children with Sanjana to her own, Savarni Manu, Shani, and Tapati. This created a sense of inconvenience for the children, who once loved and adored her, now saw her drifting from them. One day Lord Yama went to ask for some food from Chaya, but she was so busy with the burden of work from her children that she did not listen to him and almost forgot about Yama asking for food. This angered Lord Yama, and in a fury, he kicked Chaya in the gut. Chaya was shocked and angered by Yama's behaviour, and as a reply, she cursed him. As the leg was the body part that Yama used to abuse Chaya, she cursed Yama to be infected with a leg full of worms and sores. Yama ran to his father, Surya Dev, who then proceeded to give Yama a Cock which ate all the insects off Yama's leg. This incident was a learning experience for Yama, who then learned that Chaya was not his birth mother but her shadow image. Surya Dev also realised that it was not Sanjana, but Chhaya, who had taken his wife's place.

This incident is mentioned in The Markandeya Purana, The Vishnu Purana and also The Matsya Purana. As Bharani Nakshatra Lord is Yama, his learning from the above incident reflects in the lives of people born in this nakshatra; it makes the native love fairness and equality in all situations but on the other hand it also ensures that they will not have a good and fruitful relationship with their mothers.

Each nakshatra in the Vedic astrology is divided into 4 padas based on the position of the moon. Every person born in the nakshatra is given a specific pada based on their time of birth which helps in determining the characteristics of this person. Let us have a brief look at the four Padas of Bharani Nakshatra

  • 1st Pada: Leo Navamsa, the native, tends to be creative in nature. Success seems to follow them in any field they are in. As this pada is governed by the Sun, therefore the natives are very self-centred and can also be selfish in nature. Being a Leo, the characteristics of this person also include being a natural Leader having Compassion and Courage. They are also known for being sacrificial in a deposition.
  • 2nd Pada: Virgo Navamsa, the native, tends to be very efficient in their workplace. Being successful is the driving force for the natives of this pada. As this pada is governed by Mercury, therefore the natives have a logical and unbiased approach to life. Also, they are genuinely inclined towards gaining more knowledge and coming around to be learned. By being a Leo, the natives are humble and diligent. In life, they also tend to be Rich and Happy.
  • 3rd Pada: Libra Navamsa, the native, tends to be fearless and highly energetic. As this pada is governed by Venus, therefore the natives have extreme desire and passion for sex. This, however, leads them to make the wrong decisions. Being a Libra, the characteristics of this person also include being well-balanced and workaholics. Moreover, they also inflict suffering.
  • 4th Pada: Scorpio Navamsa, the native tends to love their work. They are highly efficient, and success is guaranteed for them with fame following. As this pada is governed by Mars, the native tends to be critical and can come around as mean in nature. By being a Scorpio, the native also tends to be brave, loyal, and secretive. Moreover, there are high chances of the natives being struck by the loss of money because of their ill-management.
