one answer

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 Swati with Revati that leaves 2 of the eight at full marks — Varna and Gana — and 6 carrying a deduction: Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Graha Maitri (0.5 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) · Swati: Antya (Kapha) gives 0 of 8.

Worth stating because most matching sites imply otherwise: for Swati 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 Swati 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.

Ashtakoot koota scores for Swati 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	Swati bride	Revati bride	What it reads
Varna / 1	1	0	Revati: Brahmin · Swati: Shudra
Vashya / 2	0–1	0–1	Revati: Jalachar · Swati: Manav
Tara / 3	1.5	1.5	Counting from Swati: Kshema (4) · from Revati: Vadha (7)

Nadi / 8	0	0	Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Swati: Antya (Kapha)
Total / 36	10–13	9–12	Below the conventional threshold

Nadi, 0 of 8 — Revati: Antya (Kapha) · Swati: Antya (Kapha). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Pisces and Libra — 6/8. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
Graha Maitri, 0.5 of 5 — Revati: Jupiter · Swati: Venus. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
Tara, 1.5 of 3 — Counting from Swati: Kshema (4) · from Revati: Vadha (7). Half the koota, because the count is unfavourable in one direction only.
Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Revati: Elephant · Swati: Buffalo. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
Vashya, 0–1 of 2 — Revati: Jalachar · Swati: 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 Swati’s table and Revati’s.

All Sixteen Pada Combinations

Swati runs Libra 6°40′ – 20°00′ 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 146°40′ and 173°20′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Swati 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 Swati with Revati across all sixteen pada combinations, each cell giving Swati as bride then Revati as bride, on the strict reading of Yoni and Vashya.
Swati ↓ / Revati →	Pada 1Pisces	Pada 2Pisces	Pada 3Pisces	Pada 4Pisces
Pada 1Libra	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9
Pada 2Libra	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9
Pada 3Libra	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9
Pada 4Libra	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9	10 / 9

Strict reading of the two disputed kootas throughout. The generous reading of Yoni and Vashya adds 3 guna to every cell. None of the sixteen clears the conventional threshold of 18 on this reading. 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 — 0 of 8

Swati 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 Swati with Revati however well everything else goes.

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. Neither cancellation is available — the sign lords are Venus and Jupiter, neither the same planet nor mutual friends.

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: Swati to Revati is 13 and back is 16, counting inclusively.

Mahendra — present. 13 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 — 13 with Swati as bride, 16 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 — Swati 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 10 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 27th place in Swati's table, 25th in Revati's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.

In Swati’s table

27th of 27

Revati scores 10 there outright. Swati’s 27 partners run from 10 to 28 with a median of 21.5, so this one sits below the middle of what Swati can reach — all 27 rows.

In Revati’s table

25th of 27

Swati scores 10 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 Swati 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 below the conventional threshold 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 Swati page and the Revati page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guna do Swati and Revati score?

10–13 of 36 with Swati as the bride and 9–12 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 Swati and Revati compatible?

On Ashtakoot the conservative reading puts Swati with Revati at below the conventional threshold — under the 18 that families conventionally look for. The guna are lost on Nadi (0 of 8), Bhakoot (0 of 7), Graha Maitri (0.5 of 5), Tara (1.5 of 3), Yoni (1–3 of 4) and Vashya (0–1 of 2). It is a filter, and filters do not recommend. A koota scoring zero — here Bhakoot and Nadi — is the part worth taking to an astrologer rather than to a calculator.

Does the pada change the result for Swati and Revati?

No. Every one of the sixteen pada combinations returns the same total for Swati 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 Swati and Revati have Nadi dosha?

Yes on the plain rule: both birth stars fall in Antya (Kapha), and a shared nadi scores 0 of 8 — the largest single deduction in Ashtakoot. The three recognised cancellations — the same star in different padas, both Moons in one rashi, or two rashis sharing a lord — do not apply to Swati with Revati, so the eight guna are genuinely lost. That leaves a ceiling of 28 for this pair however well the other seven go. Across every possible pairing, 33.3% carry Nadi dosha and 23.2% of those are cancelled.

Is it better for Swati to be the bride or the groom?

On the arithmetic, Swati on the bride's side scores higher — 10–13 against 9–12. Varna and Gana are the only kootas that can do that, and here Varna goes from 1 with Swati 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 Swati and Revati, but the doshas, the seventh house and the running dasha are not — and those are what a chart is for.
