वर्ण
Varṇa — Spiritual class · 4 varṇas · 1 point
Bride's varṇa should equal or exceed groom's varṇa per BPHS 71.4.
अष्टकूट · ३६ गुण · TIER-W · cultural provenance
Aṣṭakūṭa-Milanam — the 36-point classical marriage compatibility. The classical aṣṭakūṭa comparison of two Moon positions — eight kūṭas, thirty-six guṇas, every value computed and shown. A structure to discuss, not a verdict.
8 kūṭas × 36 = 4 × 9 points · Varṇa · Vaśya · Tārā · Yoni · Graha-Maitrī · Gaṇa · Bhakūṭa · Nāḍī
अष्ट-कूट-गणित-स्वरूपम्
aṣṭa-kūṭa-gaṇita-svarūpam
Pisano-tower lock: 36 = 4 × 9 = Pisano-Ψ ratio × Navagraha. Each kūṭa returns a residue from a fixed table — a deterministic residue-arithmetic computation in R, NOT a prediction.
Propositions: P9 · P230 — verifications: 8 kūṭas × 27 nakṣatra² = exhaustive

वर्ण
Varṇa — Spiritual class · 4 varṇas · 1 point
Bride's varṇa should equal or exceed groom's varṇa per BPHS 71.4.
वश्य
Vaśya — Mutual influence · 2 points
Same vaśya class = full 2 points. Adjacent classes get 1; distant 0.
तारा
Tārā — Health & longevity · 3 points
Count nakṣatra-distance / 9. Inauspicious tāras (2,4,6,8) halve the score.
योनि
Yoni — Sexual compatibility · 4 points
14 yoni-types based on nakṣatra. Same yoni = max; enemy yonis (cat-mouse, dog-deer) = 0.
ग्रह-मैत्री
Graha-maitrī — Mental affinity · 5 points
Friendship between Moon-sign-lords. Mutual friends or same lord = 5; enemies = 1.
गण
Gaṇa — Temperament · 6 points
Deva-gaṇa best with deva or manuṣya; rākṣasa with rākṣasa only. Mismatch causes friction.
भकूट
Bhakūṭa — Prosperity & family · 7 points
Inauspicious sign-distances (2-12, 5-9, 6-8 axis) reduce to 0. Auspicious give full 7.
नाडी
Nāḍī — Health & progeny · 8 points
Different nāḍīs (Ādi/Madhya/Antya) = 8. Same nāḍī = 0 — the classical texts flag this as nāḍī-doṣa; always cross-read with the full chart.
उत्तमम् (28-36)
Uttama · highly compatible
Strong structural compatibility. Marriage carries the support of multiple clusters. Standard auspicious muhūrta windows are usually sufficient.
मध्यमम् (18-27)
Madhyama · acceptable
Workable. Individual clusters may flag concerns; the tradition reads the cluster-weak axes against the full chart before any conclusion.
अधमम् (≤17)
Adhama · weak
Structurally challenging. Especially if Nāḍī or Bhakūṭa scored zero, full parihāra-rituals are classically required before fixing the date. Always cross-read with the full chart, not the kūṭa-score alone.
Cast both birth-charts via /chart, then read the Moon's nakṣatra of each. Plugging both indices into the Aṣṭakūṭa engine produces the 8-cluster score. Always verify with the full chart (D9 navāṃśa, Maṅgala-doṣa, 7th-house yogas).
ॐ पाराशराय नमः · ॐ कालाय नमः · ॐ हनुमते वज्रदेहाय नमः
Our discipline: The Aṣṭakūṭa score is a structural compatibility metric. Any marriage decision integrates many additional factors (D9 navāṃśa, Maṅgala-doṣa, full graha-overlay, lived family context). Always consult the learned Jyotiṣī before committing — no algorithmic score replaces the full reading.
