[OCS *bedrъnъ ‘rich’ is attested only once, in the form bedъno. It has no relation to bъdrъ ‘vigilant’ and bъděti ‘be awake’. It is cognate with Sanskrit bhadraḥ ‘good fortune, auspicious’, and establishes an IE *bhed-r - rather than the bh̿d - posited by earlier investigators. From the same base are formed Slavic names for the herb burnet saxifrage and the ladybug, both of which are associated in Slavic belief with good luck and prosperity.]
