P32अष्ट-कूट-गणित-स्वरूपम्aṣṭa-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.

AṢṬAKŪṬA-VIVECANAM · The eight clusters explained
वर्ण · वश्य · तारा · योनि · ग्रह-मैत्री · गण · भकूट · नाडीVarṇa · Vaśya · Tārā · Yoni · Maitrī · Gaṇa · Bhakūṭa · Nāḍī
वर्ण
Varṇa
Spiritual class · 4 varṇas · 1 points
Bride's varṇa should equal or exceed groom's varṇa per BPHS 71.4.
cluster 1BPHS 71.4
वश्य
Vaśya
Mutual influence · 2 points
Same vaśya class = full 2 points. Adjacent classes get 1; distant 0.
cluster 2BPHS 71.5-6
तारा
Tārā
Health & longevity · 3 points
Count nakṣatra-distance / 9. Inauspicious tāras (2,4,6,8) halve the score.
cluster 3BPHS 71.7
योनि
Yoni
Sexual compatibility · 4 points
14 yoni-types based on nakṣatra. Same yoni = max; enemy yonis (cat-mouse, dog-deer) = 0.
cluster 4BPHS 71.10-14
ग्रह-मैत्री
Graha-maitrī
Mental affinity · 5 points
Friendship between Moon-sign-lords. Mutual friends or same lord = 5; enemies = 1.
cluster 5BPHS 71.15-17
गण
Gaṇa
Temperament · 6 points
Deva-gaṇa best with deva or manuṣya; rākṣasa with rākṣasa only. Mismatch causes friction.
cluster 6BPHS 71.20
भकूट
Bhakūṭa
Prosperity & family · 7 points
Inauspicious sign-distances (2-12, 5-9, 6-8 axis) reduce to 0. Auspicious give full 7.
cluster 7BPHS 71.22-26
नाडी
Nāḍī
Health & progeny · 8 points
Different nāḍīs (Ādi/Madhya/Antya) = 8. Same nāḍī = 0 (mahā-doṣa, requires remedy).
cluster 8BPHS 71.28-32
PHALA-NIRṆAYAḤ · Verdict bands
उत्तमम् (28-36)
Uttama · highly compatible
Strong structural compatibility. Marriage carries the support of multiple clusters. Standard auspicious muhūrta windows are usually sufficient.
Muhūrta-Cintāmaṇi 5.20
मध्यमम् (18-27)
Madhyama · acceptable
Workable. Individual clusters may flag concerns; remedial-mantra and ritual alignment (vrata, dāna, varṣaphala-check) advised for the cluster-weak axes.
Phaladīpikā 23.4
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.
BPHS 71.40 · MC 5.25
उभय-कुण्डल्योः अष्टकूट-मिलनम्Compute Aṣṭakūṭa across two charts
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
KAAL Truth #5: 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.
