Mula Xingxu

Mūla is a lunar asterism named in the book’s explanatory notes and distinguished by its association with the Rākṣasas. The text supplies this concise identification without describing its appearance, position, or role in a narrated event.

Identification

The note identifies Mūla as a lunar asterism and says that it belongs to the Rākṣasas. This places it within the book’s brief glosses on celestial and mythological references, rather than presenting it as a setting or an episode in the narrative.

Role in the Text

Mūla’s significance here is classificatory: the note connects a named asterism to the Rākṣasas. The book gives no further account of its influence or of any character’s actions under it, so its documented role remains limited to this association.
