He is responsible for marriages, journeys, paths, and cattle feeding. He conducts souls to other worlds or from another world to this world. He protected travelers from bandits and wild beasts. He also protected men from being exploited by other men. He is a protector of livestock. Goats pull his chariot. He is regarded as the protector of flocks and herds and invoked in the Vedas for safe travel. He also helps to recover lost items and animals.

Pushan God has the power of nourishment symbolized by milk (kshiradyapani shakti). Pushan is associated with fertility, rapid growth, abundance and providing shelter. He is the keeper of the sacred cows of the gods and provides nourishment and protection to all animals. Thus, a love of animals can be experienced in Revati.

Pushan, a solar deity, similar to the Sun god, the main deity is supposed to light up all paths. This gives him ruler ship over as diverse a thing as streetlights, which light up the road; a lighthouse, which keeps the ship from getting lost; to the rulership of the inner light of the soul, which lights up one’s life-path. He is always portrayed as standing at the beginning of all paths and beginnings. This is the reason why he became popular as the deity connected with safe travel. Consequently this nakshatra relates to all kinds of travelling – physical, mental, emotional, astral or causal.

Epic of Revati Nakshtara

According to a narrative found in the Taittiriya Samhita, Rudra was excluded from the Daksha yajna, an important sacrifice in honour of various deities. He, in anger, pierced the sacrifice with an arrow and Pushan broke his teeth as he attempted to eat a part of the oblation.

• In other version of the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas, Rudra (or Shiva) was angry because his father-in-law, Daksha, the sacrifice, did not invite him. Shiva, in anger, kicked Pushan and knocked out his teeth as he was eating the oblation.
• In the Puranic versions, Virabhadra, created by Shiva from a lock of his matted hair, knocked out Pushan’s teeth.
• And so the offerings to Pushan are made of soft porridge like mingled soft curd rice.

Another Epic

• Brahma mentioned that by waiting for him in Brahma loka, where time moves at a slower rate than the Earth plane, the corresponding time in Earth have changed yugas, and their kingdoms have vanished with men being shorter than what they were before.
• Brahma said that the only man suitable in this new yuga was Balaram the elder brother of lord Krishna. Balaram, used his plough to make Revati’s height shorter which indicates the partner of Revati natives will be shorter in height.
• It also shows that a Revati person will procrastinate on choosing their partner for long heights that may be in terms of status, reputation, finances and will miss out on the perfect match.
• Time goes much slower for Revati, they will always take their time when doing any task or making any decision. So such people are not good at working in a place where quick decision-making is required.
