one answer
Reading the eight kootas in order for Bharani and Revati: Bhakoot is where the largest deduction falls — Pisces and Aries — 12/2, so 0 of 7, with Tara at 1.5 of 3, Gana at 5 of 6 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 4 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 24.5–25.5 one way round and 23.5–24.5 the other.
Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Bharani and Revati the padas change nothing. Sixteen combinations, one answer. The exact minute of birth still decides plenty in a chart — it just does not decide this.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Bharani and Revati, 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.
| Koota | Bharani bride | Revati bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Revati: Brahmin · Bharani: Kshatriya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Revati: Jalachar · Bharani: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Bharani: Mitra (8) · from Revati: Vipat (3) |
| Yoni / 4 | 4 | 4 | Revati: Elephant · Bharani: Elephant |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Jupiter · Bharani: Mars |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Deva · Bharani: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Pisces and Aries — 12/2 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Bharani: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 24.5–25.5 | 23.5–24.5 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Aries — 12/2. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Bharani: Mitra (8) · from Revati: Vipat (3). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Bharani: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Bharani: Chatushpada. The middle of this koota: tables put a pair like this anywhere between half a guna and one.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Bharani’s table and Revati’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Bharani runs Aries 13°20′ – 26°40′ and Revati runs Pisces 16°40′ – 30°00′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 13°20′ and 40°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Bharani as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Bharani ↓ / Revati → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Aries | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 |
| Pada 2Aries | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 |
| Pada 3Aries | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 |
| Pada 4Aries | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 | 24.5 / 23.5 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 1 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
The two heavy kootas, checked with their cancellations. Neither gives a partial score, so each is worth 8 and 7 guna outright or nothing at all.
Nadi Koota — 8 of 8
Bharani is Madhya (Pitta) and Revati 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 — 0 of 7 at pada 1
In every pada combination, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. The commonly cited cancellation covers all of them: Mars and Jupiter are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.
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: Bharani to Revati is 26 and back is 3, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 26 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 — 26 with Bharani as bride, 3 with Revati — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Bharani as the bride and not with Revati.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Bharani is Ugra / Krura (fierce), Revati is Mridu (tender) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 24.5 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 8th place in Bharani's table, 9th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Bharani’s table
8th of 27
Revati scores 24.5 there, level with 2 other partners. Bharani’s 27 partners run from 7 to 32 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Bharani can reach — all 27 rows.
In Revati’s table
9th of 27
Bharani scores 24.5 there outright. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Revati can reach — all 27 rows.
What This Total Is Not
What the breakdown says matters more than where the total lands. A high figure sitting on a zero in Nadi or Bhakoot is a different proposition from the same figure earned evenly across the eight, and 18 of 36 is a threshold families use rather than a rule any classical text states.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: how to check compatibility in a kundli and Venus, and what it decides about a marriage. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Bharani page and the Revati page.
