Mulank (Birth Number) 1‑9: Meaning & Traits

In Indian numerology, your Mulank (root number) is the single digit you get by adding the digits of your birth date until only one number remains. For example, someone born on the 14th: 1+4 = 5 → Mulank 5. This number is believed to represent your core personality, strengths, and tendencies.

In this guide, we explain the traits of each Mulank from 1 to 9, according to traditional numerology texts. To instantly find your Mulank, try our free Mulank & Bhagyank Calculator.

How to Calculate Mulank

Take only the day (date) of your birth. If it’s a single digit (1‑9), that’s your Mulank. If it’s double‑digit (10‑31), add the two digits together. If the result is still double‑digit, add again. The final single digit is your Mulank. Exception: If you are born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th, your Mulank is 1. (1+0=1, 1+9=10→1, 2+8=10→1).
