Sputa drishti (BPHS 26.6-12): the virupas of every pair by degree [Parashari]
get_sputa_drishti
Parashari, not KP. Layer 3 of graha drishti: the sputa virupas, 0 to 60, of every pair from the seven onto the other eight bodies and the lagna degree, 63 rows with zeros included, by degree. Each row gives the general scale (BPHS 26.6-8, 'generalVirupas'), BPHS 26.9-12 for Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with Jupiter's 4th/8th-sign term per the Sanskrit ('twice', 'withSpecialVirupas', classical) and per both English translations ('once', 'withSpecialEnglishVirupas', disputed), and 'jupiterTermDisputed' where the two differ; both Jupiter readings ship, neither is picked. A row also carries the pair's sign grade, the same pair read at the resolution of signs, because the two resolutions can differ and both are reported. Returns '{ houseSystem: 'whole-sign', lagnaSign, pairs: [{ from, to, toSign, signCount, signGrade, signFraction, separationDeg, generalVirupas, withSpecialVirupas, withSpecialEnglishVirupas, jupiterTermDisputed, segment }], notes, sources, pagination, pageNote }'. The nodes receive aspects here and cast no virupas. No score; a virupa is the classical quantity and nothing is summed. **'pairs' is paged**, in the engine's order and never cut inside a row. The same block 'get_graha_drishti' returns as 'pairs'.

}Birth data
This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
