Reading the eight kootas in order for Uttara Ashadha and Shravana: Nadi is where the largest deduction falls — Shravana: Antya (Kapha) · Uttara Ashadha: Antya (Kapha), so 0 of 8, with Bhakoot at 0 of 7, Graha Maitri at 3 of 5, Gana at 5 of 6, Yoni at 1–3 of 4 and Varna at 0 of 1 behind it. The remaining 2 kootas are complete, which puts the pair at 14–16 one way round and 15–17 the other.
The pada decides part of this one. Uttara Ashadha runs from Sagittarius into Capricorn after pada 1 and Shravana passes the mid-point of Capricorn after pada 2, which moves it from the Chatushpada vashya group into Jalachar, and 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. Across the sixteen combinations the total moves between 13 and 24, a swing of 11 guna against a median of 2 for all 351 pairs.
Koota by Koota
All eight kootas for Uttara Ashadha and Shravana, 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.

| Total / 36 | 14–16 | 15–17 | Below the conventional threshold |
- Nadi, 0 of 8 — Shravana: Antya (Kapha) · Uttara Ashadha: Antya (Kapha). Eight guna on one comparison, and it is the whole of Nadi.
- Bhakoot, 0 of 7 — Capricorn and Sagittarius — 2/12. A forbidden rashi distance, so all seven guna go at once.
- Graha Maitri, 3 of 5 — Shravana: Saturn · Uttara Ashadha: Jupiter. The mental-compatibility koota, and the sign lords fall short of friendship.
- Gana, 5 of 6 — Shravana: Deva · Uttara Ashadha: Manushya. Deva with Manushya, five of six either way round — the mildest of the mixed results.
- Yoni, 1–3 of 4 — Shravana: Monkey · Uttara Ashadha: Mongoose. The middle of this koota, where tables give one, two or three guna.
- Varna, 0 of 1 — Shravana: Vaishya · Uttara Ashadha: Kshatriya. A deliberately one-way test on rank, failed in this direction. It is one point of thirty-six.
Half-guna figures are exact rather than rounded. Each koota’s rule is set out in full on Uttara Ashadha’s table and Shravana’s.
All Sixteen Pada Combinations
Uttara Ashadha runs Sagittarius 26°40′ – Capricorn 10°00′ and Shravana runs Capricorn 10°00′ – 23°20′ — two arcs 13°20′ wide, each divided into four padas of 3°20′, which puts the two Moons anywhere between 0°00′ and 26°40′ apart. Every cell below holds two totals: Uttara Ashadha as bride first, Shravana as bride second. The cells are not all the same, which is the point of printing them — 12 at the lowest and 24 at the highest.
| Uttara Ashadha ↓ / Shravana → | Pada 1Capricorn | Pada 2Capricorn | Pada 3Capricorn | Pada 4Capricorn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1Sagittarius | 14 / 15 | 14 / 15 | 12 / 13 | 12 / 13 |

| Pada 4Capricorn | 24 / 24 | 24 / 24 | 22 / 22 | 22 / 22 |
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. 12 of the sixteen clear the conventional threshold of 18; the other 4 do not. 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
Fifteen of the 36 guna sit in these two, and both are all-or-nothing. Their cancellations are stated specifically enough to be checked for Uttara Ashadha and Shravana rather than guessed at.
Nadi Koota — 0 of 8
Uttara Ashadha and Shravana 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 Uttara Ashadha with Shravana however well everything else goes.
Bhakoot Koota — 0 of 7 at pada 1
In 4 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 Jupiter and Saturn, 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: Uttara Ashadha to Shravana is 2 and back is 27, counting inclusively.
- Mahendra — absent. 2 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 — 2 with Uttara Ashadha as bride, 27 with Shravana — and 135 pairs clear it both ways against 216 that clear it one way. It holds with Shravana as the bride and not with Uttara Ashadha.
Neither test touches the 36. Muhurta nature is a different question again — Uttara Ashadha is Dhruva / Sthira (fixed), Shravana is Chara (movable) — and it governs what each star suits doing, not who it marries.
How the Pair Ranks on Each Side
The same 15 of 36 reads differently from each side, because each star is being compared with a different 27: 22nd place in Uttara Ashadha's table, 23rd in Shravana's. Both positions can be checked by counting rows there — the figures are the ones those tables print.
In Uttara Ashadha’s table
22nd of 27
Shravana scores 15 there, level with 1 other partner. Uttara Ashadha’s 27 partners run from 9.5 to 31 with a median of 22, so this one sits below the middle of what Uttara Ashadha can reach — all 27 rows.
In Shravana’s table
23rd of 27
Uttara Ashadha scores 15 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.
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 Uttara Ashadha page and the Shravana page.
