Exact span in the sidereal zodiac
Purva Bhadrapada occupies 320° 00' 00" to 333° 20' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 20° 00' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) up to 3° 20' 00" Pisces (Meena). Every nakshatra is exactly 13°20′ wide, so 27 of them tile the 360° circle with no gap and no overlap.
The four padas
Each pada is 3°20′ wide and corresponds to one navamsa. The pada of your Moon is what fixes the exact starting balance of your first Vimshottari mahadasha.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20° 00' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 23° 20' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Aries (Mesha) |
| 2 | 23° 20' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 26° 40' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Aries (Mesha) |
| 3 | 26° 40' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 29° 60' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Gemini (Mithuna) |
| 4 | 0° 00' 00" Pisces (Meena) | 3° 20' 00" Pisces (Meena) | Cancer (Karka) |
