one answer
Of the eight kootas, 4 leave something on the table for this pair and 4 do not. Graha Maitri is the largest at 0.5 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Mrigashira: Venus. The complete ones are Varna, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi, which is 22 of the 36 guna earned before any deduction is applied.
A boundary is crossed and the result survives it: Mrigashira runs from Taurus into Gemini after pada 2. Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot all read 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
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Mrigashira with Revati. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Mrigashira bride | Revati bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Revati: Brahmin · Mrigashira: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Revati: Jalachar · Mrigashira: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Mrigashira: Pratyari (5) · from Revati: Sadhaka (6) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Revati: Elephant · Mrigashira: Serpent |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | Revati: Jupiter · Mrigashira: Venus |
| Gana / 6 | 6 | 6 | Revati: Deva · Mrigashira: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Pisces and Taurus — 11/3 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Mrigashira: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 25–28 | 24–27 | Good |
- Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Mrigashira: Venus. Five guna ride on how the two sign lords regard each other, more than any other single test.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Mrigashira: Pratyari (5) · from Revati: Sadhaka (6). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Mrigashira: Serpent. Not the same animal, not a hostile pair, so the graded middle.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Mrigashira: Chatushpada. Neither the same group nor the agreed zero, so the graded middle where lineages differ.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Mrigashira’s table and Revati’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Mrigashira runs Taurus 23°20′ – Gemini 6°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 53°20′ and 80°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Mrigashira as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Mrigashira ↓ / Revati → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Taurus | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 2Taurus | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 3Gemini | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
| Pada 4Gemini | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 | 25 / 24 |
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
Mrigashira 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 — 7 of 7 at pada 1
Pisces and Taurus — 11/3 — 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
The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Mrigashira and Revati alone — so they can be given here and checked by hand.
- Mahendra — absent. Mahendra wants every third star from the fourth — 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 — and Mrigashira to Revati is 23. The two counts always add to 29, so a Mahendra pair holds whichever way round the match is made.
- Stri-Dirgha — satisfied one way. This one is directional in earnest: 23 from Mrigashira and 6 from Revati, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Mrigashira as the bride and not with Revati.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Mrigashira is Mridu (tender), Revati is Mridu (tender) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
A total carries meaning against the alternatives rather than on its own, and the alternatives differ for the two stars: 25 of 36 puts Revati 6th among Mrigashira's 27 possible partners and Mrigashira 5th among Revati's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Mrigashira’s table
6th of 27
Revati scores 25 there outright. Mrigashira’s 27 partners run from 9 to 35 with a median of 19.5, so this one sits above the middle of what Mrigashira can reach — all 27 rows.
In Revati’s table
5th of 27
Mrigashira scores 25 there, level with 3 other partners. 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
The whole of Ashtakoot for Mrigashira and Revati rests on two arcs of the zodiac 13°20′ wide. Everything a chart is usually read for — the seventh house and its lord, Venus and Mars, Mangal dosha, the dasha each partner is running — sits outside those two arcs and outside this total, which is why good is a starting point for a conversation and not the end of one.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: what a birth date alone can and cannot settle and how to check compatibility in a kundli. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Mrigashira page and the Revati page.
