Purva Bhadrapada and Revati come to 18.5–19.5 of 36 with Purva Bhadrapada on the bride's side and 17.5–18.5 with Revati on it. What sits behind those two figures: Varna and Nadi score in full, while Bhakoot (0 of 7), Yoni (0 of 4), Graha Maitri (3 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Gana (5 of 6) and Vashya (0–1 of 2) do not, and Bhakoot on its own accounts for 7 of the guna that go missing.
A swing of 11 guna separates the best and worst cells in the grid below — 18.5 at the bottom, 29.5 at the top. The cause is a boundary inside the four padas: Purva Bhadrapada runs from Aquarius into Pisces after pada 3. Since 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, which side of it the Moon fell on is not a detail.
Koota by Koota
Pada 1 on each side, and what every koota is reading for Purva Bhadrapada with Revati. Varna and Gana are the two directional tests, which is why each name gets a column: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Purva Bhadrapada bride | Revati bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Revati: Brahmin · Purva Bhadrapada: Shudra |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Revati: Jalachar · Purva Bhadrapada: Manav |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Purva Bhadrapada: Vipat (3) · from Revati: Mitra (8) |
| Yoni / 4 | 0 | 0 | Revati: Elephant · Purva Bhadrapada: Lion |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 3 | 3 | Revati: Jupiter · Purva Bhadrapada: Saturn |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Deva · Purva Bhadrapada: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Pisces and Aquarius — 2/12 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Purva Bhadrapada: Adi (Vata) |
| Total / 36 | 18.5–19.5 | 17.5–18.5 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Aquarius — 2/12. One of the three forbidden distances, and Bhakoot is all or nothing.
- Yoni, 0 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Purva Bhadrapada: Lion. One of the seven hostile pairs, and the largest deduction a single koota can produce.
- Graha Maitri, 3 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Purva Bhadrapada: Saturn. 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 Purva Bhadrapada: Vipat (3) · from Revati: Mitra (8). One count of the two is inauspicious and the other is not, which halves the koota.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Purva Bhadrapada: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Purva Bhadrapada: Manav. 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 Purva Bhadrapada’s table and Revati’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Purva Bhadrapada runs Aquarius 20°00′ – Pisces 3°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 13°20′ and 40°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Purva Bhadrapada as bride first, Revati as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 17.5 at the lowest and 29.5 at the highest.
| Purva Bhadrapada ↓ / Revati → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Aquarius | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 |
| Pada 2Aquarius | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 |
| Pada 3Aquarius | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 | 18.5 / 17.5 |
| Pada 4Pisces | 29.5 / 29.5 | 29.5 / 29.5 | 29.5 / 29.5 | 29.5 / 29.5 |
Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds between 0 and 1 guna, depending on the 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
Purva Bhadrapada 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 — 0 of 7 at pada 1
In 12 of the sixteen pada combinations, the two Moon signs stand at one of the three forbidden distances and Bhakoot gives nothing. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Saturn and Jupiter, 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
The South Indian reckoning runs to ten kootas, and two of the extras are counts between Purva Bhadrapada 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 Purva Bhadrapada to Revati is 3. 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: 3 from Purva Bhadrapada and 26 from Revati, against a threshold sources give as seven or as nine. It holds with Revati as the bride and not with Purva Bhadrapada.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Purva Bhadrapada 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
A total carries meaning against the alternatives rather than on its own, and the alternatives differ for the two stars: 18.5 of 36 puts Revati 18th among Purva Bhadrapada's 27 possible partners and Purva Bhadrapada 20th among Revati's, both on the pada-1 figures those two tables print.
In Purva Bhadrapada’s table
18th of 27
Revati scores 18.5 there, level with 1 other partner. Purva Bhadrapada’s 27 partners run from 13 to 29.5 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Purva Bhadrapada can reach — all 27 rows.
In Revati’s table
20th of 27
Purva Bhadrapada scores 18.5 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
Across every pairing of two Moon positions that can exist, 63.6% clear 18 and the median total is 20.5, so clearing the conventional bar is the ordinary result rather than a distinction. The ceiling is 35, not 36 — no pairing of Purva Bhadrapada and Revati or of anything else reaches a perfect score, and a site reporting one has added something to the arithmetic.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: Venus, and what it decides about a marriage and the Kundli Milan guide written from these numbers. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Purva Bhadrapada page and the Revati page.
