one answer

Reading the eight kootas in order for Mula and Revati: Gana is where the largest deduction falls — Revati: Deva · Mula: Rakshasa, so 1 of 6, with Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 5 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 26–29 one way round and 24–27 the other.

The pada does not matter here. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way and Mula with Revati is one of them: every one of the sixteen cells in the grid below repeats the same total, so knowing the two birth stars is knowing the score.

Koota by Koota

All eight kootas for Mula 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 Mula 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	Mula bride	Revati bride	What it reads

Vashya / 2	0–1	0–1	Revati: Jalachar · Mula: Manav

Gana, 1 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Mula: Rakshasa. The gentle temperament is held to bear the cost of the forceful one unevenly.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Mula: Dog. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Mula: 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 Mula’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Mula runs Sagittarius 0°00′ – 13°20′ 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 93°20′ and 120°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Mula as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.

Ashtakoot totals out of 36 for Mula with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Mula as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Mula ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Sagittarius	26 / 24	26 / 24	26 / 24	26 / 24

Pada 4Sagittarius	26 / 24	26 / 24	26 / 24	26 / 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

Nadi and Bhakoot between them decide the shape of a result more than the total does — and both come with classical relief clauses that two named birth stars are enough to test.

Nadi Koota — 8 of 8

Mula is Adi (Vata) 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 Sagittarius — 4/10 — 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: Mula to Revati is 9 and back is 20, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — absent. 9 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 — 9 with Mula as bride, 20 with Revati — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Revati as the bride and not with Mula.

Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Mula is Tikshna (sharp), 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 26 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 7th place in Mula's table, 4th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Mula’s table

7th of 27

Revati scores 26 there outright. Mula’s 27 partners run from 11 to 30 with a median of 21, so this one sits above the middle of what Mula can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

4th of 27

Mula scores 26 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 Mula page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Mula and Revati score?

26–29 of 36 with Mula as the bride and 24–27 with Revati 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 Mula and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Mula with Revati at good. The guna are lost on Gana (1 of 6), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. No koota scores zero for this pair, which is worth more than the total itself.

Does the pada change the result for Mula and Revati?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Mula and Revati. Neither star crosses a boundary between its padas, so all four sit in one rashi and one half of it, and no koota can move. 120 of the 351 pairs behave this way.

Do Mula and Revati 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 Mula to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Mula on the bride's side scores higher — 26–29 against 24–27. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Mula as bride to 0 with Revati as bride and Gana goes from 1 with Mula 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 score is settled for Mula and Revati, but the doshas, the seventh house and the running dasha are not — and those are what a chart is for.
