The key point

The 2 that do not agree: Mahendra, Vasya.

The North Indian way

27of 36 gunas

Families look for 18; this is above it.

The eight kootas and the doshas

By the northern reckoning it is 27 of 36, and that tradition reads it the same way.

Varna — the order of the two signs1 of 1 · full

The groom's group is not below the bride's, the order wanted here.

Vashya — mutual influence1 of 2 · partly

The two moon signs fall in neighbouring groups, which counts as a partial agreement for the marriage.

Tara — wellbeing1½ of 3 · partly

The count is favourable one way and not the other, so this scores in part for wellbeing in the marriage.

Yoni — physical compatibility2 of 4 · partly

The two animal symbols differ but are not enemies: a middle score for physical compatibility in the marriage.

Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords½ of 5 · partly

By natural friendship, one ruler is hostile to the other, so this scores low for friendship in the marriage.

Gana — disposition6 of 6 · full

Husband and wife share one temperament, which earns full marks here.

Bhakoot — the pairing of the moon signs7 of 7 · full

The distance between the two moon signs is not one counted against a marriage, so this earns full marks.

Nadi — constitution8 of 8 · full

Husband and wife have different constitutions, which is what this one looks for.

Eighteen of thirty-six is the line families use; the kootas above say more than the total.

The ten, one by one

Dina and Rajju come first. Tap any one for its reason.

  1. DinaHealth and longevityAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The count from the bride's star to the groom's; some counts are avoided.

    For this pair

    Ardra (bride)Purva Ashadha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 15

    This goes with good health and a long life together for husband and wife. (Why: the count from the bride's star to the groom's falls in the favourable range.)

  2. RajjuLongevity of the marriageAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The two stars must not fall in the same one of five groups; families look at this first.

    For this pair

    Kanta (neck) (bride)Kati (waist) (groom)

    This is the porutham most families weigh above all others, for the length of the marriage, and it agrees here. (Why: the two stars fall in different rajju groups, which is what it requires.)

  3. GanaTemperament and dispositionAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Manushya (human) (bride)Manushya (human) (groom)

    Husband and wife share one temperament: two people who will not have to work to understand each other. (Why: both stars are in the same gana, the temperament group.)

  4. MahendraProgeny and prosperityDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Ardra (bride)Purva Ashadha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 15

    This porutham looks at children and the family's prosperity, and it does not agree here.

  5. Stree DeerghaThe wife's wellbeing and long lifeAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Ardra (bride)Purva Ashadha (groom)

    Count from the bride's star: 15

    This goes with the bride's long life and wellbeing in the marriage. (Why: the groom's star lies well ahead of the bride's.)

  6. YoniPhysical compatibilityAgrees in partPoints: ½

    For this pair

    Dog (bride)Monkey (groom)

    This counts in part for physical understanding between husband and wife. (Why: the two animal symbols are neither the same nor natural enemies.)

  7. RasiFamily harmony and progenyAgreesPoints: 1

    What it looks at

    The sign the Moon was in at birth.

    For this pair

    Mithuna (Gemini) (bride)Dhanus (Sagittarius) (groom)

    Place from the bride's rasi: 7

    This holds for family harmony. (Why: the two Moon signs are the same sign, or directly opposite each other.)

  8. RasyadhipathiMutual understandingAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Budha (Mercury) (bride)Guru (Jupiter) (groom)

    This goes with mutual understanding in the marriage. (Why: on the porutham list, the lords of the two Moon signs are friends to each other.)

  9. VasyaMutual attractionDoes not agreePoints: 0

    For this pair

    Mithuna (Gemini) (bride)Dhanus (Sagittarius) (groom)

    This counts for mutual attraction, and it does not agree here. On its own it should not decide the marriage. (Why: in the vasya table neither Moon sign draws the other.)

  10. VedhaFreedom from affliction between husband and wifeAgreesPoints: 1

    For this pair

    Ardra (bride)Purva Ashadha (groom)

    The two stars do not obstruct each other, so this agrees for the marriage. (Why: the two stars are not one of the pairs that obstruct each other.)
