KUTA-04)Codified in Muhurta Chintamani Chapter 6, Verses 18–22 and Kalaprakashika & Prashna Marga, Tara (3 Points), Vashya (2 Points) & Varna Kuta (1 Point) operates under the mathematical invariant Tara = 3.0 / 1.5 / 0.0 pts (Count mod 9) ; Vashya = 2.0 pts (5 Sign Classes) ; Varna = 1.0 pt: The foundational triad of Ashtakoota scores 6.0 Gunas across three structural layers: Varna Kuta (1.0 point) compares the four-fold spiritual grade of the Moon signs (Brahmana: 4, 8, 12; Kshatriya: 1, 5, 9; Vaishya: 2, 6, 10; Shudra: 3, 7, 11); Vashya Kuta (2.0 points) evaluates magnetic attraction among five biological sign classes (Dvipada, Chatushpada, Jalachara, Vanachara, and Keeta); and Tara Kuta (3.0 points) divides the Nakshatra distance in both directions by 9 to test whether the remainders fall in auspicious Taras (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9) or inauspicious Taras (3 Vipat, 5 Pratyak, 7 Naidhana).
SHASTRIC MECHANICSMathematical Formulation & Structural Rules of Tara (3 Points), Vashya (2 Points) & Varna Kuta (1 Point)
In Tara (Dina) Kuta, the astronomer counts inclusively from the bride's Nakshatra to the groom's Nakshatra and divides by 9 (yielding Remainder A), and then counts from the groom's Nakshatra to the bride's Nakshatra and divides by 9 (yielding Remainder B). If both remainders are auspicious (Janma 1, Sampat 2, Kshema 4, Sadhana 6, Mitra 8, or Parama Mitra 9), the pair receives the full 3.0 points; if one remainder is auspicious and the other falls in 3 (Vipat), 5 (Pratyak), or 7 (Naidhana/Vadha), the score is 1.5 points; if both remainders fall in 3, 5, or 7, the score is 0.0 points.
