Viśākhe is the couple of stars a and β Libræ. This mansion is later called Rādhā according to the Amarakośa, and it is curious that in the Atharvaveda⁸⁷ the expression \*rādho Viśākhe\*, ‘the Viśākhe are prosperity,’ should occur. But probably Rādhā is merely an invention due to the name of the next Nakṣatra, Anurādhā, wrongly conceived as meaning ‘that which is after or follows Rādhā.’⁸⁸ - [Previous: v1.c3.s20.119](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.119) - [Next: v1.c3.s20.121](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.121) - [Up: v1.c3.s20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.120](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.120) · Pramāṇa
