Gana (Deva) & Yoni (Buffalo (Mahisha)) Compatibility
Hasta belongs to Deva Gana. In the 6-point Gana koota and Tamil Gana Porutham, a Deva Gana star scores the full 6 of 6 points (Pass) with another Deva Gana star and 5 or 6 points (Pass) with Manusha Gana stars. When paired with a Rakshasa Gana star, classical tables award 0 points (Caution), prompting families to check whether Rasi, Rasi Athipathi and star distance (>14 stars) balance the chart.
Hasta is assigned the Buffalo (Mahisha) Yoni archetype, which it shares with Swati (Swathi). Matching Hasta with Swati (or another Hasta chart) awards the maximum 4 of 4 Yoni points, while friendly and neutral Yoni archetypes award 3 or 2 classical points (Pass for Yoni Porutham).
