About this star:

A pale yellow star in the left shoulder of the Water Carrier.

The Arabic spelling for Sadalsuud is Sa'd as-Su'ud, "Luck of lucks", or the "Luckiest of the Lucky", from its rising with the sun when the winter had passed and the season of gentle, continuous rain had begun.

This title also belongs to the Arabic 22d manzil, which included this star with xi of Aquarius and iota of Capricornus.

Beta (this star Sadalsuud) and xi also constituted the Persian lunar station Bunda and the similar Coptic Upuineuti, "the Foundation".

It is found in Hindu lists as Kalpeny, of unknown signification.

On the Euphrates it was Kakkab Namma, "the Star of Mighty Destiny", that may have given origin to the title of the manzil, as well as to the astrologers' name for it — Fortuna Fortunarum. (Allen).
