one answer

Four of the eight kootas — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — are settled by the two birth stars alone, before anyone asks about a pada; the other four are read from the Moon rashi, which a pada can move. For Anuradha with Shravana that leaves 3 of the eight at full marks — Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — and 5 carrying a deduction: Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4), Vashya (0–1 of 2) and Varna (0 of 1). The heaviest of them is Graha Maitri, where Shravana: Saturn · Anuradha: Mars gives 0.5 of 5.

A boundary is crossed and the result survives it: Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar. Vashya reads differently either side of it, and yet every one of the sixteen combinations still lands on 25 of 36 on the conservative reading. 120 of the 351 pairs are untouched by the pada altogether; this one is one of 26 touched everywhere except in the total.

Koota by Koota

All eight kootas for Anuradha and Shravana, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Varna differs between them.

Ashtakoot koota scores for Anuradha with Shravana at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.

Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Shravana: Saturn · Anuradha: Mars. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Anuradha: Sadhaka (6) · from Shravana: Pratyari (5). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Shravana: Monkey · Anuradha: Deer. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Shravana: Chatushpada · Anuradha: Keet. The middle of this koota: tables put a pair like this anywhere between half a guna and one.
Varna, 0 of 1 — Shravana: Vaishya · Anuradha: Brahmin. A deliberately one-way test on rank, failed in this direction. It is one point of thirty-six.

Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Anuradha’s table and Shravana’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Anuradha runs Scorpio 3°20′ – 16°40′ and Shravana runs Capricorn 10°00′ – 23°20′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 53°20′ and 80°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Anuradha as bride first, Shravana as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Anuradha with Shravana across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Anuradha as bride then Shravana as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Anuradha ↓ / Shravana →	Pada 1Capricorn	Pada 2Capricorn	Pada 3Capricorn	Pada 4Capricorn

Pada 4Scorpio	24 / 25	24 / 25	24 / 25	24 / 25

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. All sixteen combinations clear the conventional threshold of 18. Dimmed cells fall below it; the nakshatra finder returns the pada from a birth date, time and place.

The Two Doshas, and Whether They Are Cancelled

Fifteen of the 36 guna sit in these two, and both are all-or-nothing. Their cancellations are stated specifically enough to be checked for Anuradha and Shravana rather than guessed at.

Nadi Koota — 8 of 8

Anuradha is Madhya (Pitta) and Shravana is Antya (Kapha). Different nadis take the full eight guna, and since Nadi alone is more than a fifth of the total, this pair starts from a position 108 of the 351 pairs never reach.

Bhakoot Koota — 7 of 7 at pada 1

Capricorn and Scorpio — 3/11 — outside the three forbidden distances of 6/8, 5/9 and 2/12, and it stays outside them in all sixteen pada combinations. Bhakoot is full at seven throughout.

A cancellation is relief, not a score adjustment — the koota still reads zero above. The doshas Ashtakoot does not test for are a separate question — Mangal dosha among them.

Two Tests Outside the 36

Two tests the eight kootas leave out, both settled by the distance between the two stars: Anuradha to Shravana is 6 and back is 23, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — absent. 6 stars between them, against a favourable set of 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25. 108 of the 351 pairs land on one of those.
Stri-Dirgha — satisfied one way. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 6 with Anuradha as bride, 23 with Shravana — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Shravana as the bride and not with Anuradha.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Anuradha is Mridu (tender), Shravana is Chara (movable) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.

How the Pair Ranks on Each Side

The same 25 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 6th place in Anuradha's table, 7th in Shravana's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Anuradha’s table

6th of 27

Shravana scores 25 there, level with 1 other partner. Anuradha’s 27 partners run from 12 to 31 with a median of 20, so this one sits above the middle of what Anuradha can reach — all 27 rows.

In Shravana’s table

7th of 27

Anuradha scores 25 there outright. Shravana’s 27 partners run from 3.5 to 28 with a median of 20.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Shravana can reach — all 27 rows.

What This Total Is Not

One number cannot carry a marriage. Ashtakoot reads a single point from each chart — the Moon — so two people born hours apart with the Moon in Anuradha score identically here whatever else their charts do. The seventh house and its lord, Venus, Mars and Mangal dosha, and the dasha each partner is running are all outside it, and any of them can matter more than the difference between good and the band above.

Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: what the Navamsa adds that Guna Milan cannot and what a birth date alone can and cannot settle. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Anuradha page and the Shravana page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Anuradha and Shravana score?

24–27 of 36 with Anuradha as the bride and 25–28 with Shravana as the bride, taking pada 1 on both sides. The padas do not change it — all sixteen combinations give the same answer, which makes this one of the 146 pairs of 351 where the two birth stars settle the score outright. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. Against every possible pairing of two Moon positions, 63.6% clear 18 and the median is 20.5.

Are Anuradha and Shravana compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Anuradha with Shravana at good. The guna are lost on Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4), Vashya (0–1 of 2) and Varna (0 of 1). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. A koota scoring zero — here Varna — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Anuradha and Shravana?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Anuradha and Shravana. Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar, and what Vashya reads changes with it, but the figure the band is taken from holds at 25 throughout — one of 26 pairs in the 351 that behave that way.

Do Anuradha and Shravana have Bhakoot dosha?

No. The two Moon signs never fall at one of the three forbidden distances — 6/8 Shadashtaka, 5/9 Navapanchaka or 2/12 Dwirdwadasha — in any of the sixteen pada combinations, so Bhakoot scores its full seven throughout. Bhakoot is all or nothing: there is no partial score.

Is it better for Anuradha to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Shravana on the bride's side scores higher — 25–28 against 24–27. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 0 with Anuradha as bride to 1 with Shravana as bride. 314 of the 351 pairs move like this, so a calculator that takes two stars without asking who is the bride has picked a direction for you.

Run It On the Real Padas

The score is settled for Anuradha and Shravana, but the doshas, the seventh house and the running dasha are not — and those are what a chart is for.
