Śravaṇa — Shravana
Śravaṇa is the 22th of the twenty-seven nakṣatras, the 13°20′ arc from 280° to 293°20′ of the sidereal zodiac, within Makara (Capricorn). A Moon born here opens the Vimśottarī cycle in the daśā of Moon (10 years), with only the untraversed fraction of the arc remaining. In Kundli Milan its gaṇa is deva, its yoni vānara (monkey), its nāḍī antya.

Where the texts name it
The verses below are places where SIA's store prints this nakṣatra by name; the daśā and melāpaka rules above are the doctrine SIA computes with.

Melāpaka doctrine
Doctrine recordGaṇa (6 guṇas) — each nakṣatra belongs to the deva, manuṣya or rākṣasa gaṇa (temperament class). The same gaṇa earns 6; deva with manuṣya 5–6; deva with rākṣasa 1; manuṣya with rākṣasa 0. A mismatch here (gaṇa-doṣa) signals a clash of basic temperament, softened when the Moon-sign lords are friends.
Doctrine recordYoni (4 guṇas) — each nakṣatra carries an animal nature (aśva, gaja, meṣa, sarpa, śvāna, mārjāra, mūṣaka, go, mahiṣa, vyāghra, mṛga, vānara, nakula, siṃha). The same yoni earns 4; friendly yonis 3; neutral 2; unfriendly 1; the sworn-enemy pairs (horse–buffalo, elephant–lion, sheep–monkey, serpent–mongoose, dog–hare/deer, cat–rat, cow–tiger) earn 0. It measures instinctive, physical compatibility.
Doctrine recordNāḍī (8 guṇas) — the heaviest kūṭa. The 27 nakṣatras cycle through the three nāḍīs (ādi, madhya, antya), the constitutional current. DIFFERENT nāḍīs earn the full 8; the SAME nāḍī earns 0 and is nāḍī-doṣa, the gravest melāpaka objection (held to bear on progeny and health). The doṣa is classically waived when the two Moons share one rāśi with different nakṣatras, or one nakṣatra with different pādas.
