Reading the eight kootas in order for Krittika and Revati: Nadi is where the largest deduction falls — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Krittika: Antya (Kapha), so 0 of 8, with Bhakoot at 0 of 7, Gana at 1 of 6, Tara at 1.5 of 3, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 2 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 9.5–12.5 one way round and 7.5–10.5 the other.

Two birth stars are not enough for this pair. Krittika runs from Aries into Taurus after pada 1, and Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot are all read from the Moon rashi rather than from the star, which puts 15 of the 36 guna on that boundary — so the total follows, anywhere from 9.5 to 12 of 36 depending on the padas. At 2.5 guna the swing sits above the median of 2, in a range reaching 14 at its widest.

Koota by Koota

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

Ashtakoot koota scores for Krittika with Revati at pada 1 on both sides, shown separately for each partner on the bride’s side, with the values each koota reads.
Koota	Krittika bride	Revati bride	What it reads
Varna / 1	1	0	Revati: Brahmin · Krittika: Kshatriya
Vashya / 2	0–1	0–1	Revati: Jalachar · Krittika: Chatushpada

Nadi / 8	0	0	Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Krittika: Antya (Kapha)
Total / 36	9.5–12.5	7.5–10.5	Below the conventional threshold

Nadi, 0 of 8 — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Krittika: Antya (Kapha). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Aries — 12/2. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
Gana, 1 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Krittika: Rakshasa. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Krittika: Vadha (7) · from Revati: Kshema (4). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Krittika: Sheep. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Krittika: 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 Krittika’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Krittika runs Aries 26°40′ – Taurus 10°00′ 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 26°40′ and 53°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Krittika as bride first, Revati as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 7.5 at the lowest and 12 at the highest.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Krittika with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Krittika as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Krittika ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Aries	9.5 / 7.5	9.5 / 7.5	9.5 / 7.5	9.5 / 7.5
Pada 2Taurus	12 / 10	12 / 10	12 / 10	12 / 10
Pada 3Taurus	12 / 10	12 / 10	12 / 10	12 / 10
Pada 4Taurus	12 / 10	12 / 10	12 / 10	12 / 10

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. None of the sixteen clears the conventional threshold of 18 on this reading. 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 — 0 of 8

Krittika and Revati are both Antya (Kapha), so the plain rule gives nothing. None of the three recognised cancellations reaches this pair — the same star in different padas, both Moons in one rashi, or two rashis sharing a lord — so the eight guna are lost and 28 is the ceiling for Krittika with Revati however well everything else goes.

Bhakoot Koota — 0 of 7 at pada 1

In 4 of the sixteen pada combinations, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. The commonly cited cancellation covers each of those cells: 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. Remedial practice for Nadi dosha is set out on the Nadi dosha page.

Two Tests Outside the 36

Two tests the eight kootas leave out, both settled by the distance between the two stars: Krittika to Revati is 25 and back is 4, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — present. 25 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 — 25 with Krittika as bride, 4 with Revati — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Krittika as the bride and not with Revati.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Krittika is Mishra (mixed), 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 9.5 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 27th place in Krittika's table, 26th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Krittika’s table

27th of 27

Revati scores 9.5 there outright. Krittika’s 27 partners run from 9.5 to 30 with a median of 20, so this one sits below the middle of what Krittika can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

26th of 27

Krittika scores 9.5 there outright. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below 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 Krittika page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Krittika and Revati score?

9.5–12.5 of 36 with Krittika as the bride and 7.5–10.5 with Revati as the bride, taking pada 1 on both sides. The real padas move it: across all sixteen combinations the total runs from 9.5 to 12, and the grid on this page gives every cell. 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 Krittika and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Krittika with Revati at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Gana (1 of 6), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. A koota scoring zero — here Bhakoot and Nadi — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Krittika and Revati?

Yes. Krittika runs from Aries into Taurus after pada 1, and Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot are read from the Moon rashi rather than from the nakshatra, so 15 of the 36 guna move with that boundary. The total ranges from 9.5 to 12 across the sixteen combinations — a swing of 2.5 guna, against a median of 2 and a maximum of 14 over all 351 pairs. Only the birth times settle which cell applies.

Do Krittika and Revati have Nadi dosha?

Yes on the plain rule: both birth stars fall in Antya (Kapha), and a shared nadi scores 0 of 8 — the largest single deduction in Ashtakoot. The three recognised cancellations — the same star in different padas, both Moons in one rashi, or two rashis sharing a lord — do not apply to Krittika with Revati, so the eight guna are genuinely lost. That leaves a ceiling of 28 for this pair however well the other seven go. Across every possible pairing, 33.3% carry Nadi dosha and 23.2% of those are cancelled.

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

On the arithmetic, Krittika on the bride's side scores higher — 9.5–12.5 against 7.5–10.5. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Krittika as bride to 0 with Revati as bride and Gana goes from 1 with Krittika as bride to 0 with Revati 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 grid above narrows Krittika and Revati to sixteen answers between 9.5 and 12. Two birth times pick one of them.
