The padas of Mula
Each pada is 3°20′ and falls in its own navamsa (D9) sign — the chart astrologers read for marriage and inner strength. Each also carries the syllable traditionally used for names.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0°–3°20′ Sagittarius | Aries | Ye |
| 2 | 3°20′–6°40′ Sagittarius | Taurus | Yo |

Mula in a match
When two charts are matched, the birth nakshatras decide four of the eight kootas: Tara, which compares the two nakshatras with each other, and these three, which belong to Mula itself.
Gana · temperament
Rakshasa
Fierce temperament: independent, intense and protective of its own.
Nadi · constitution
Adi (Vata)
Partners of the same nadi score none of its eight points — the classic nadi dosha.
Yoni · instinct
Dog, male
Yoni compares natural instincts and intimacy through the animal of each nakshatra.
