The twenty-second mansion means 'hearing', and its deity is Vishnu. Its symbol is three footprints, from the story of the god who crossed the universe in three steps.

Its lord is the Moon. This is the mansion of listening rather than speaking — learning, scholarship, tradition passed on by voice, and the reason it is associated with teachers and with anyone whose work is to take things in accurately. Its stars are the line of three in Aquila, next to Altair.
