What this nakshatra decides in a chart
If the Moon sits here at birth, Revati is the birth nakshatra — and it fixes the entire Vimshottari dasha sequence. The first mahadasha is Mercury's, and how far the Moon had travelled into these 13.33° decides how much of it had already elapsed before birth. Every dasha date in the chart follows from that one number.
The gana, yoni and nadi above are not decorative. They are read directly in Ashtakoota matching, where nadi alone carries eight of the thirty-six points.
