16 Kalaas of the Moon

The  16 Kalaas  of the Moon:

1. Amritaa, 
2. Maanadaa, 
3. Pushaa, 
4. Tushti, 
5. Pushti, 
6. Rati, 
7. Dhriti,
8. Shashini,
9. Chandrika,
10. Kanti,
11. Jyotsnaa,
12. Sri,
13. Pritirangaa,
14. Purnaa, 
15. Swarajaa.

Note: 

This  refers  to each  of the sixteenth  part of the moon’s diameter/disc,  or one of the various phases of the  moon. The moon waxes and wanes in a fourteen  day phase, each day it is different from the other.  Thus we have fourteen Kalaas of the moon. Added to this  is the full moon and the dark moon. i.e. two more Kalaas.  Therefore the total Kalaas of the moon are 14 + 2 = 16.  

That  is why  lord  Krishna  is  said  to belong  to the Moon  race because he  possessed sixteen Kalaas. The  symbolism is very stark.
