Lakshmi yoga meaning in Vedic astrology: BPHS chapter 36

BPHS chapter 36 (verses 27 to 28) declares the yoga when the 9th lord sits in a kendra in its moolatrikona, own or exalted sign while the lagna lord is strong. Verse 28 lists traditional results such as virtue, wealth and fame. This is not the same rule as raja yoga in chapter 34, which links a kendra lord with a trikona lord.

Phaladeepika chapter 6 (verse 21) uses the same name for a different rule (9th lord and Venus in own or exaltation in a kendra or trikona). B. V. Raman's combination 27 lists several versions, including lagna and 9th lords associating. Skybond's lesson follows BPHS chapter 36 and notes the others neutrally.
