“Problem Abhijit (Vega), younger sister of Rohini (Aldebaran), desiring seniority (over Rohini?) went to the forest to perform austerities. Thus, Abhijit (Vega) slipped/moved from the sky. At that time (as a result) Indra approached Skandha and asked Skandha to discuss the matter with Brahma. Brahma ordained the beginning of time from Dhanishtha (Sualocin), while previous to this incident the beginning of time was from Rohini and the appropriate number of nakshatras existed (for time reckoning). Being told like this by Indra, Krittika (Pleiades), the nakshatra with Agni as its deity and with the shape of a cart (or with seven heads) became happy and went up in the sky4. My task is to make sense of the incidents described in this Mahabharata passage.”
