Kuta meaning in Vedic astrology: units of agreement

In the system Muhurta Chintamani (ch. 6, v. 21, VedicPupil's English rendering) lists, there are eight kutas carrying 1 to 8 points: varna 1, vashya 2, tara 3, yoni 4, graha maitri 5, gana 6, bhakoot 7, nadi 8, a total of 36.

B.V. Raman's Muhurtha uses twelve factors instead, the system used in South India (Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree-Deergha, Yoni, Rasi, Rasyadhipathi, Vasya, Rajju, Vedha, Varna, Nadi). Raman adds a caveat: 'The kutas or the units of agreement should be considered only when there is general sympathy between the horoscopes of the parties to be brought together.'

Skybond does not compute kundali matching scores.
