AK thanks for the correction, will be incorporated in a future edition with more examples. As for mR^igashIrSha- yes this is the most common and probably the right spelling. I just picked that spelling from Tilak's book. But in say the TB nakShatra sUktaM it is mR^igashIrSha with a not A- will change it to that.
shridatta, as for the taittirIya brAhmaNa nakShatra sUktaM there are some differences of the deities and constellation names from your list, actually your list seems to be from the taittirIya saMhitA:
TB NS:
citrA indra
should be :chitrA tvaShTar: tvaShTA nakShatraM abhyeti chitrAM .
rohiNI indra
is
jyeShTha indra :indro jyeShThAmanu nakShtraMeti .
vicRtau pitR
is
mUlA nirR^iti
zatabhiSaj indra
is
shatabhiShak varuNa
it also include abhijit: tanno nakShatraM abhijidvijitya ...
