v6.c82.142

It would be noticed that some of the names of nakṣatras differ such as Invakā (in Tai Br I 5 1 and Kāṭhaka) for Mṛga-śīrṣa, Bāhū for Ārdrā (in Tai Br I. 5 1, Kāṭhaka S and Maitrā-yaṇī S), Tiṣya for Puṣya, Niṣṭyā for Svāti (in Tai. Br.), Rohiṇī (in Tai. Br. I. 5 4 and Tai. S) for Jyeṣṭhā, Vicrtau in Tai S for Mūla (in other Vedic texts), Śroṇā (in Tai S, Tai. Br. and Mai S.) and Aśvattha in Kāṭhaka S for Śravaṇa (in Atharva), Śraviṣṭhā for (medieval and modern) Dhaniṣṭhā, Apabharaṇī for Bharaṇī (in Atharva, Mai S and modern times). The deities also differ, the most striking being the change of place between Bhaga and Aryaman as presiding deities of Aṣāḍhās in the Kathaka, Vedāṅgajyotiṣa, Śāṅ gṛ., and Indra as deity of Citrā in Tai. S and Tvaṣṭr in Tai. Br.
