Four of the eight kootas — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — are settled by the two birth stars alone, before anyone asks about a pada; the other four are read from the Moon rashi, which a pada can move. For Shravana with Revati that leaves 3 of the eight at full marks — Varna, Gana and Bhakoot — and 5 carrying a deduction: Nadi (0 of 8), Graha Maitri (3 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). The heaviest of them is Nadi, where Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Shravana: Antya (Kapha) gives 0 of 8.
A swing of 2 guna separates the best and worst cells in the grid below — 19.5 at the bottom, 21.5 at the top. The cause is a boundary inside the four padas: Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar. Since Vashya is read from the half of the sign the Moon falls in, so two guna turn on that mid-point, which side of it the Moon fell on is not a detail.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Shravana 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 | Shravana bride | Revati bride | What it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna / 1 | 1 | 0 | Revati: Brahmin · Shravana: Vaishya |
| Vashya / 2 | 0–1 | 0–1 | Revati: Jalachar · Shravana: Chatushpada |
| Tara / 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Counting from Shravana: Sadhaka (6) · from Revati: Pratyari (5) |
| Yoni / 4 | 1–3 | 1–3 | Revati: Elephant · Shravana: Monkey |
| Graha Maitri / 5 | 3 | 3 | Revati: Jupiter · Shravana: Saturn |
| Gana / 6 | 6 | 6 | Revati: Deva · Shravana: Deva |
| Bhakoot / 7 | 7 | 7 | Pisces and Capricorn — 3/11 |
| Nadi / 8 | 0 | 0 | Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Shravana: Antya (Kapha) |
| Total / 36 | 19.5–22.5 | 18.5–21.5 | Acceptable |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Shravana: Antya (Kapha). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
- Graha Maitri, 3 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Shravana: Saturn. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
- Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Shravana: Sadhaka (6) · from Revati: Pratyari (5). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Shravana: Monkey. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Shravana: 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 Shravana’s table and Revati’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Shravana runs Capricorn 10°00′ – 23°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 53°20′ and 80°00′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Shravana as bride first, Revati as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 18.5 at the lowest and 21.5 at the highest.
| Shravana ↓ / Revati → | Pada 1Pisces | Pada 2Pisces | Pada 3Pisces | Pada 4Pisces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Capricorn | 19.5 / 18.5 | 19.5 / 18.5 | 19.5 / 18.5 | 19.5 / 18.5 |
| Pada 2Capricorn | 19.5 / 18.5 | 19.5 / 18.5 | 19.5 / 18.5 | 19.5 / 18.5 |
| Pada 3Capricorn | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 | 21.5 / 20.5 |
| Pada 4Capricorn | 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 between 2 and 3 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 — 0 of 8
Shravana 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 Shravana with Revati however well everything else goes.
Bhakoot Koota — 7 of 7 at pada 1
Pisces and Capricorn — 3/11 — 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. 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: Shravana to Revati is 6 and back is 23, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 6 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 — 6 with Shravana as bride, 23 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 Shravana.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Shravana is Chara (movable), 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 19.5 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 15th place in Shravana's table, 18th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Shravana’s table
15th of 27
Revati scores 19.5 there outright. Shravana’s 27 partners run from 3.5 to 28 with a median of 20.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Shravana can reach — all 27 rows.
In Revati’s table
18th of 27
Shravana scores 19.5 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
One number cannot carry a marriage. Ashtakoot reads a single point from each chart — the Moon — so two people born hours apart with the Moon in Shravana score identically here whatever else their charts do. The seventh house and its lord, Venus, Mars and Mangal dosha, and the dasha each partner is running are all outside it, and any of them can matter more than the difference between acceptable and the band above.
Written rather than computed, and worth the longer read: what the Navamsa adds that Guna Milan cannot and what a birth date alone can and cannot settle. The full profiles of the two stars — deities, symbols, temperament, the syllables used for naming — are on the Shravana page and the Revati page.
