KP Stellar AstroKP Sub Lord Table
Every zodiac division Krishnamurti Paddhati uses to name a cuspal sub-lord: all 243 sign → nakshatra → sub-lord segments, with pada and star lord, computed directly from the engine's own recursive Vimshottari division — not a hand-typed lookup.

How this table is built
Krishnamurti Paddhati divides each of the 27 nakshatras (13°20’ wide) into nine sub-divisions whose widths are proportional to the Vimshottari dasha years (Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17 — 120 total), starting from the nakshatra's own star lord and cycling onward. A planet's cuspal sub-lord is whichever of these 243 segments its exact longitude falls into — the single most decisive factor in a KP judgment.
FAQ
What is a cuspal sub-lord?
The finest-grained KP lord governing an exact longitude — the ninth-level subdivision of a nakshatra. It is the single factor KP relies on most heavily to judge whether a house promises an event.
Why do sub-lord divisions have different widths?
Each of the nine divisions within a nakshatra is proportional to that planet's Vimshottari dasha years out of 120 total — so Venus's slice (20/120) is wider than Sun's (6/120), inside every single nakshatra.
How is this different from a star lord?
The star lord (nakshatra lord) is coarser — one of only 27 values. The sub lord subdivides each star lord's span into nine further pieces, which is why two planets sharing a star lord often have different sub lords.
