Eleven thousand repetitions, and the only graha in the nine whose own cycle is short enough to notice: the Moon returns to its birth position every 27.3 days.

Nine counts, 130,000 repetitions between them, and none of them a whole number of malas. The scarce resource in this remedy is not permission, it is time.

Seven thousand repetitions is the smallest ask in the whole navagraha set, and the Sun's first window opens at sunrise on a Sunday by construction rather than by custom.

Ten thousand repetitions against the joint shortest mahadasha in the system. Measured per year of period, only Ketu asks more, and the gap is not small.

The planetary rule for beads one to nine is not a doctrine, it is an index. And twelve beads over nine grahas forces three repeats however a seller arranges the list.

Sixteen thousand repetitions against the longest period in the system, and a third of people never live through that period at all.

Moti clears Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. That is the water trine, and it lands there for the same structural reason the ruby lands on fire: the Moon owns one sign.

Two of the eight kootas hold fifteen of the thirty-six points and both score all or nothing, which is why so many matches fail on arithmetic rather than on anything anyone observed.

Heera is the only stone in the set prescribed under a carat, and it is yogakaraka for both Saturn ascendants, which is the opposite of what the enemy tables predict.

Gomed is not licensed for anybody and not refused for anybody, and that is not a gap in our table. It is a gap in the framework, and it affects a fifth of all readers.

The first bead in the sequence takes the first graha, which is the least mysterious fact in the whole subject once you notice what the numbering is doing.

By the third bead the pattern is unmistakable, and it explains why a bead reaches Mars without the argument a red coral needs.
