10 Porutham / TEN PORUTHAM / 10 Kootas
Select the Boy Star :
Match Making in Indian Vedic Astrology
Marriage is a very solemn binding for the bride and the groom. In India it is a very sacred occasion
for the Hindus. The parents and the aged relatives of the boy and the girl to be married take great
care before getting them engaged in wedlock as there is no turning back from the marriage vow. To
ensure a long and happy married life, the ancient Indian sages and saints devised a method to check
the matrimonial adaptability or marriageable compatibility which is called 'Marriage Matching' or
'Match-making'.
They devised the method of matching by Koota Agreement based on the Birth Stars of the boy and
the girl. ally they recommended 20 kootas. But out of these only 10 kootas are considered for the
actual horoscope matching and in some parts of India only 8 kootas are considered. Hence it also
popularly known as "Das Poritham" in Hindi or 10 Porutham in Tamil.
The 10 Kootas or the 10 Poruthams
According to Indian Astrological principles there are 28 Nakshathras (Stars) in an oval round called
the zodiac and the Navagrahas (the nine planets ) which transit this Zodiac. This heavenly
constitution exert their combined astral influences on human beings.
The Kootas agreement is ascertained by examining the birth stars and the Janma rasis, of the boy
and girl. Each koota has a specific role or a part to play.
1) Dinam (Dinath Ayushyam Aarokyam)
The presence of Dina Koota agreement ensures that the husband and wife remain healthy and free
from all sorts of diseases and will enjoy all comforts and a long lease of life.
Count the stars beginning fron the star of the girl. If such counted number comes as
2,4,6,8,9,11,13,15,18,20,24,26, it is good and agrees. If Rohini, Ardhra, Maka, Visaka, Sravana,
Hasta, Uttarashada, Revathi happens to be the same star for girl and boy they agree.
In cases of Mrigasira, Aswani, Krithika, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara, Chitra, Uttarashada, Purvashada
stars, if they are same they also agree but are given secondary choice. Others do not agree.
In cases where the two stars are same it is good that the signs of the boy leads that of girl. 27th star
even in different signs has to be rejected.
2) Ganam (Sobanam Ganam Evacha)
This koota ensures compatible sex life. It is the matching of the human minds and their
temperaments.
Deva Gana Manushya Gana Rakshasa Gana
Aswani Bharani Krithika
Mrigasira Rohini Ashlesha
Punarvasu Ardhra Makha
Pushya Poorvaphalguni Chitra
Hasta Uttaraphalguni Visaka
Swathi Purvashada Jyeshta
Anuradha Uttarashada Moola
Sravana Poorvabhadrapada Dhanishta
Revathi Uttarabhadrapada Satabisha
If both are Deva or Manushya Gana they agree. In case the gana of the girl is Deva and that of the
boy is Manushya it agrees as secondary. If both are of Rakshasa they do not agree. This agreement
confers general happiness of marital life.
3) Yoni ( Yonitho Dhampathy Sneham )
This is another koota which is interpreted in two ways. The word Yoni indicates the private
reproductive organ of a women. So it is said that presence of Yoni Koota is a must to ensure sexual
compatibility.
Each star is having certain animal force associated with it.They are:

issue, his family and tradition will end with him. Another school of thought interprets it as cordial
relationship between the daughter-in-law and her in-laws.
Counting from that of the girl if the Rasi of the boy is 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 there is no proper agreement.
If both the signs are same there is agreement and in such a case the Rasi of Aquarius, Leo, Cancer,
Capricorn do not agree, if both are mutually in 7th to each other. Of these if they are 6 to 8 they do
not agree. This confers children.

6) Rajju ( Rajju Mngalya Vrithysyath )
This bestows on the girl living happily with the husband for the long time. It is considered as the most
important of the ten kootas as it ensures a long life for the husband.
The group stars make up a figure. The groups form foot , thigh, middle, neck, head. They are as
follows :
Portion Star
Head Mirgasira, Chitra, Dhanishta
Neck Rohini, Ardhra, Hasta, Swati, Sravana, Satabisha
Middle Krithika, Punarvasu, Uttara, Visaka, Uthrashada, Purvabadra
Thigh Barani, Pushya, Pubba, Anuradha, Uttarabadra, Purvashada
Foot Aswani, Aslesha, Maka, Jyeshta, Moola, Revati
If both the stars of the boy and girl come in the same portion as foot or head or neck etc there is no
agreement. If they happen to be in the same line as head, the husband will die, if in the neck, the wife
will meet death, if in the middle loss of children, if under thigh extreme poverty and if under foot
pitiable wanderings. This is a very important agreement.
7) Vedha ( Vedhaya Sohanasanam )

and prosperous married life is assured as a result.

couple and happiness of children.
12) Varna Koota : Varna refers to the caste of the girl and boy and it is having no or less relevance
now a days as inter-caste marriages have become common.
The astrologers have given certain points to all these kootas, The points are summed up according to
the matching of the horoscopes of the boy and the girl. If there is matching of more than 50 percent
points, then the couple is considered ideal for marriage.
Manglik (Mars) Matching : This is also one of the most important aspect of horoscope matching.
There must be compatibility of Mars between the male and the female horoscope.
The perfect calculation of all these points requires, accurate and detailed horoscope of both the boy
and the girl.
