Sanskrit mṛgaśiraṣa (popularly spelled Mārgaśīrṣa/Mṛgaśira) (Devanagari: मृगशिर)((タミル語:மிருகசீரிடம்)) (Kannada: ಮೃಗಶಿರ) the 5th nakṣatra or ''lunar mansion'' as used in Hindu astronomy and astrology is the constellation Orion. Its position is described in the Surya Siddhānta. The first two ''carana/pada'' (quarters) of this nakṣatra are part of ''Vṛṣabha Rāśi'' (Devanagari: वृषभ) or ''Taurus''. The latter half of this star belong to ''Mithuna Rāśi'' (Devanagari: मिथुन) or ''Gemini'' (from 23°20’ Taurus to 6°40’ Gemini). ==Etymology== The term Mṛgaśira (मृगशिर) a composite of two Sanskrit words, mṛga (मृग) meaning animal/beast and śira (शिर) meaning head or precisely, the top of the head. The names Mṛgaśira (मृगशिर) and Mārgaśīrṣa/Mṛgaśīrṣa (मार्गशीर्ष) are sometimes used interchangeably. Grammatically, Mārgaśīrṣa (मार्गशीर्ष) means "of Mṛgaśira" or "related to Mṛgaśira". Thus Mṛgaśira (मृगशिर) is the correct name of the star, while Mārgaśīrṣa (मार्गशीर्ष) is the name of the month related to Mṛgaśira, i.e., the month in which moon will be in conjuncture with the Mṛgaśira nakṣatra. In Malayalam it is called Makayeeram. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mrigashīrsha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
