Notes:

Selected text from the Chapter 109 ##adhyAyaH 109## of Uttaraparva ##uttaraparva## of the BhaviṣyaMahāPurāṇam ##bhaviShyamahApurANam## is given on this page that highlights the mapping of ŚivaNakśatraPuruṣa ##shivanakShatrapuruSha## with respect to Names of Śiva ##shivanAmAni##.

In this Chapter, Kṛṣṇa ##kR^iShNa## describes to Yudhiṣṭhira ##yudhiShThira##, the vrata ##vrata## and related pūjā ##pUjA## that can be conducted and offered to Śiva ##shiva## based on Nakśatra-s ##nakShatrANi## (lunar mansions) commencing from Hasta Nakśatra ##hasta nakShatra## during Phālguna Māsa ##phAlguna mAsa##, whereby the respective body parts of Śiva ##shiva## from Feet upwards are worshipped during the transit of Moon.

The list of the mapping is given below (in a tabular form with hyphens separating columns) for convenience of readers in the following order:
Nakśatra ##nakShatra## - ŚivaNāma ##shivanAma## - Caturthī Vibhakti ##chaturthI vibhakti## - BodyPart ##a~Nga##

The names of Nakśatra ##nakShatra## used here are based on the referenced text and commence with Hasta Nakśatra ##hasta nakShatra## in alignment with the same. The numbering of Nakśatra ##nakShatra## is taken as traditional one; viz. 1. Aśvinī ##1. ashvinI##
The Caturthī Vibhakti ##chaturthI vibhakti## (Dative case) of the respective Name ##nAma## is usually used in Mantra-s ##mantrAH##.
The detailed procedure, application and variation(s) of these should be learned from an able Guru.

Although mentioned in the text as a variation, Aṅgulyau ##a~Ngulyau## is unlikely considering the sequence of body parts indicated by the text itself.
