Om namo bhagavate venkatesaaya

 

Dear Ramapriya, Namaste

 

Following Sanjays hint, I checked up Monier Williams dictionary and here is what I found:

 

nakS: to come near , approach , arrive at , get , attain.

nakSat:

approaching

 

ra: acquiring, possessing

 

I couldnt find the meaning of nakSdyAm from which nakSatra is

apparently derived (MW mentions it as cf or carried forward?) but I

gather that dyAm has something to do with the species known as homo

sapiens.

 

hope this helps and best regards

Hari
