Shravana 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 Shravana itself.
Gana · temperament
Deva
Divine temperament: gentle, generous and idealistic.

Antya (Kapha)
Partners of the same nadi score none of its eight points — the classic nadi dosha.
Yoni · instinct
Monkey, female
Yoni compares natural instincts and intimacy through the animal of each nakshatra.
