Remarks. –

Adhi Yoga is one of the most important combinations. Astrological authorities classify this Adhi Yoga as Papadhi yoga and Shubhadhi yoga. But Varahamihira and that section of astrologers do not seem to favour such a classification. Bhattotpala, the erudite commentator of the writings of Varahamihira suggests the existence of Papadhi yoga. Varahamihira distinctly observes Sounyehi-implying clearly only the benefics, viz., Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. All these benefics may be in the 6th, 7th or 8th or in two houses or all of them may be in any one of these houses. If there is one planet in full strength in any one of these signs, that person becomes a leader. If there are two, he will be a minister and if there are three, he will occupy an eminent station in life. If all the three benefics, devoid of strength, are in the three signs above mentioned, then also Adhi Yoga will be present but the influence it exerts would indeed be feeble. Adhi yoga may be considered as a Raja Yoga or almost its equivalent.
