one answer
Reading the eight kootas in order for Purva Phalguni and Revati: Bhakoot is where the largest deduction falls — Pisces and Leo — 8/6, so 0 of 7, with Tara at 1.5 of 3, Gana at 5 of 6, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Vashya at 0–1 of 2 behind it. The remaining 3 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 21.5–24.5 one way round and 20.5–23.5 the other.
Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Purva Phalguni and Revati the padas change nothing. Sixteen combinations, one answer. The exact minute of birth still decides plenty in a chart — it just does not decide this.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Purva Phalguni and Revati, taken at pada 1 each. Two columns because Varna and Gana can score differently by direction where the other six cannot: Varna differs between them.
| Koota | Purva Phalguni bride | Revati bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Revati: Brahmin · Purva Phalguni: Kshatriya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Revati: Jalachar · Purva Phalguni: Vanachar |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Purva Phalguni: Mitra (8) · from Revati: Vipat (3) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Revati: Elephant · Purva Phalguni: Rat |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Jupiter · Purva Phalguni: Sun |
| Gana / 6 | 5 | 5 | Revati: Deva · Purva Phalguni: Manushya |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 0 | 0 | Pisces and Leo — 8/6 |
| Nadi / 8 | 8 | 8 | Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Purva Phalguni: Madhya (Pitta) |
| Total / 36 | 21.5–24.5 | 20.5–23.5 | Acceptable |
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Leo — 8/6. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Purva Phalguni: Mitra (8) · from Revati: Vipat (3). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Revati: Deva · Purva Phalguni: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Purva Phalguni: Rat. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Purva Phalguni: Vanachar. 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 Purva Phalguni’s table and Revati’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Purva Phalguni runs Leo 13°20′ – 26°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 133°20′ and 160°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Purva Phalguni as bride first, Revati as bride second. All sixteen read alike, so the padas can be left out of this one.
| Purva Phalguni ↓ / Revati → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Leo | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 |
| Pada 2Leo | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 |
| Pada 3Leo | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 |
| Pada 4Leo | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 |
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
Purva Phalguni 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 — 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. The commonly cited cancellation covers all of them: Sun and Jupiter are mutual friends in the natural friendship table.
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: Purva Phalguni to Revati is 17 and back is 12, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 17 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 — 17 with Purva Phalguni as bride, 12 with Revati — 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 — Purva Phalguni 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
The same 21.5 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 12th place in Purva Phalguni's table, 14th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Purva Phalguni’s table
12th of 27
Revati scores 21.5 there, level with 2 other partners. Purva Phalguni’s 27 partners run from 6.5 to 33 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits on the middle of what Purva Phalguni can reach — all 27 rows.
In Revati’s table
14th of 27
Purva Phalguni scores 21.5 there, level with 1 other partner. Revati’s 27 partners run from 5 to 32 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits on 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: 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 Purva Phalguni page and the Revati page.
