Verse 1 — Adhi Yoga — Definition (Benefics in 6/7/8 from Moon)

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: candrād ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-sthaḥ śubhaḥ grahaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa vijñeyaḥ sarva-saubhāgya-dāyakaḥ ||]

candrād ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-sthaḥ śubhaḥ grahaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa vijñeyaḥ sarva-saubhāgya-dāyakaḥ ||

When a natural benefic occupies the 6th, 7th or 8th house from the Moon, Adhi Yoga is formed; the native is endowed with every kind of fortune, health, command and respect.

Verse 2 — Single Benefic in 6/7/8 from Moon

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ekaḥ śubha-grahaḥ ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-saṁsthitaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa vijñeyo madhya-dhana-phala-pradaḥ ||]

ekaḥ śubha-grahaḥ ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-saṁsthitaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa vijñeyo madhya-dhana-phala-pradaḥ ||

A single benefic in the 6th, 7th or 8th from Moon gives a partial Adhi Yoga; the native gains moderate wealth, good health and a pleasant disposition.

Verse 3 — Two Benefics in 6/7/8 from Moon

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: dvi śubhaḥ ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-saṁsthitaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa veditavyaḥ sarva-sampatti-dāyakaḥ ||]

dvi śubhaḥ ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-saṁsthitaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa veditavyaḥ sarva-sampatti-dāyakaḥ ||

Two benefics in the 6th, 7th or 8th from the Moon produce a fuller Adhi Yoga; the native is granted every kind of wealth, vehicles, fame and royal favour.

Verse 4 — Three Benefics in 6/7/8 — Purnadhi Yoga

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: tri-śubha-graha-saṁyogaḥ ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭame | pūrṇa-adhi-yogaḥ proktaḥ sarva-rājya-phala-pradaḥ ||]

tri-śubha-graha-saṁyogaḥ ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭame | pūrṇa-adhi-yogaḥ proktaḥ sarva-rājya-phala-pradaḥ ||

When three benefics occupy the 6th, 7th and 8th houses from the Moon, the Purnadhi (complete) Adhi Yoga is formed; the native becomes a ruler, owner of vast wealth and lands.

Verse 5 — Adhi Yoga from Lagna

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: lagnād vā ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-sthaḥ śubhaḥ grahaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa vijñeyo dhana-āyur-yaśa-pradaḥ ||]

lagnād vā ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭama-sthaḥ śubhaḥ grahaḥ | adhi-yogaḥ sa vijñeyo dhana-āyur-yaśa-pradaḥ ||

The same yoga — benefic in 6th, 7th or 8th from the Lagna — also produces Adhi Yoga; the native enjoys long life, wealth, fame and a virtuous family.

Verse 6 — Benefic in 5th from Lagna — Poorvapunya

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: lagnāt pañcame sthitaḥ śubha-grahaḥ pūrvapuṇya-phala-pradaḥ | vidyā-dhana-sukha-pradātā jñātīnāṁ ca priyaḥ ||]

lagnāt pañcame sthitaḥ śubha-grahaḥ pūrvapuṇya-phala-pradaḥ | vidyā-dhana-sukha-pradātā jñātīnāṁ ca priyaḥ ||

A benefic in the 5th from Lagna indicates Poorvapunya (merit from past lives); the native is learned, wealthy, happy and beloved by relatives.

Verse 7 — Benefics in 9th and 10th — Dharma-Karma Yoga

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: navame daśame vāpi śubha-saṁyoga-saṁsthitau | dharma-karma-sukhādhānaṁ rāja-yoga-phala-pradau ||]

navame daśame vāpi śubha-saṁyoga-saṁsthitau | dharma-karma-sukhādhānaṁ rāja-yoga-phala-pradau ||

Benefics in the 9th and 10th from Lagna yield Dharma-Karma Adhipatya yoga; the native is righteous, performs great deeds, and gains kingship and renown.

Verse 8 — Obstruction to Adhi Yoga by Malefics

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭameṣu pāpa-grahaḥ pradṛśyate | tadā adhi-yoga-bhaṅgaḥ phalaṁ dadyād alpa-saubhāgyadam ||]

ṣaṣṭha-saptama-aṣṭameṣu pāpa-grahaḥ pradṛśyate | tadā adhi-yoga-bhaṅgaḥ phalaṁ dadyād alpa-saubhāgyadam ||

If a malefic planet occupies or aspects the 6th, 7th or 8th from Moon, the Adhi Yoga is obstructed; the native's fortune is reduced and mixed with sorrows.
