one answer
Reading the eight kootas in order for Hasta and Shravana: Bhakoot is where the largest deduction falls — Capricorn and Virgo — 5/9, so 0 of 7, with Graha Maitri at 4 of 5, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 4 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 23–26 one way round and 23–26 the other.
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 23 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 Hasta and Shravana, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: here neither one differs, so the two columns agree.
| Koota | Hasta bride | Shravana bride | What it reads |

| Total / 36 | 23–26 | 23–26 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Capricorn and Virgo — 5/9. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Graha Maitri, 4 of 5 — Shravana: Saturn · Hasta: Mercury. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Shravana: Monkey · Hasta: Buffalo. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Shravana: Chatushpada · Hasta: Manav. 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 Hasta’s table and Shravana’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Hasta runs Virgo 10°00′ – 23°20′ 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 106°40′ and 133°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Hasta as bride first, Shravana as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.

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
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
Hasta is Adi (Vata) 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 — 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. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Mercury and Saturn, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.
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: Hasta to Shravana is 10 and back is 19, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — present. 10 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 both ways. The count from the bride's star should pass nine — 10 with Hasta as bride, 19 with Shravana — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds either way round here.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Hasta is Kshipra / Laghu (swift and light), 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 23 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 12th place in Hasta's table, 9th in Shravana's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Hasta’s table
12th of 27
Shravana scores 23 there, level with 1 other partner. Hasta’s 27 partners run from 9 to 28 with a median of 22.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Hasta can reach — all 27 rows.
In Shravana’s table
9th of 27
Hasta scores 23 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
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: kundli matching for marriage, end to end and the 36 guna taken one koota at a time. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Hasta page and the Shravana page.
