Abhijit (nakshatra)

Abhijit is the Sanskrit name for Vega, the brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra.

In the Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu, in the incarnation of Krishna, tells Uddhava that among the nakshatras, he is Abhijit, highlighting the auspiciousness of this nakshatra.

[1] Abhijit's longitude spans from 06° 40' to 10° 53' 20" in the constellation of Capricornus, covering the last quarter of Uttara Ashadha to the first quarter of Shravana.

It is not as frequently mentioned as other asterisms in Hindu mythology.

Chandra, the moon god, has 27 wives who are the 27 nakshatra goddesses, with whom he stays for one day in a sidereal lunar month.
