How the poruthams are counted
Dina
health and day-to-day harmony
Count from the bride's star: 4
Count from the bride's star to the groom's: it agrees when the count leaves 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0 after dividing by 9.
Gana
temperament
Bride: Deva · Groom: Manushya
The same gana agrees. A Deva bride with a Manushya groom agrees; the other way round is partial. A Rakshasa with any other gana does not agree.
Mahendra
children and prosperity
Count from the bride's star: 4
Agrees when the groom's star is the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd or 25th from the bride's.
Stree Deergham
long, prosperous married life
Count from the bride's star: 4
Agrees when the groom's star is more than 13 from the bride's; 10 to 13 is partial.
Yoni
physical compatibility
Bride: Horse · Groom: Serpent
Each star has an animal (yoni). It agrees unless the two animals are natural enemies: horse–buffalo, elephant–lion, goat–monkey, serpent–mongoose, dog–deer, cat–rat, cow–tiger.
Rasi
family growth and harmony
- Count from the bride's rasi: 2
Count from the bride's rasi to the groom's: the 7th is best; the 2nd, 6th, 8th and 12th do not agree; the same rasi is partial; the rest agree.
Rasi Adhipathi
friendship of the rasi lords
- Bride: Mars · Groom: Venus
The lords of the two rasis should be the same planet or friends. If either treats the other as an enemy it does not agree; otherwise it is partial.
Vasya
mutual attraction
- Bride: Mesham · Groom: Rishabam
Some rasis attract others (vasya). It agrees when the groom's rasi is vasya to the bride's; when only the reverse holds, it is partial.
Rajju
the husband's long life — the most important
Bride: Pada (feet) · Groom: Kanta (neck)
The stars fall into five rajjus — head, neck, navel, thigh and feet. Both stars in the same rajju does not agree, and this is the most serious objection.
Vedhai
freedom from mutual affliction
Not a vedhai pair
Certain pairs of stars afflict each other (vedhai). It agrees unless the two stars are such a pair.
