Within the vectorized reference corpus (jyotish_corpus_core_v3), the doctrinal cluster of Nabhasa & Kemadruma Yogas (YOGA-08) is cross-indexed across 3,533 verified passages and 1,570 numbered shlokas in 18 Sanskrit treatises.
YOGA-08)Codified in Brihat Jataka Chapter 12 & Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 35 and Saravali Chapter 21 & Jataka Parijata Chapter 6, Nabhasa & Kemadruma Yogas operates under the mathematical invariant 32 Nabhasa Patterns (4 Groups) ; Sunapha/Anapha/Durudhara: Nabhasa Yogas classify the macroscopic topological geometry of all seven visible Grahas across the twelve sidereal signs into thirty-two patterns (3 Ashraya, 2 Dala, 20 Akriti, and 7 Sankhya Yogas), while lunar flanking Yogas (Sunapha, Anapha, Durudhara, and Kemadruma) measure whether the second and twelfth houses from the Moon contain non-luminary planets.
SHASTRIC MECHANICSMathematical Formulation & Structural Rules of Nabhasa & Kemadruma Yogas
Varahamihira devotes the entire twelfth chapter of Brihat Jataka to Nabhasa Yogas because they operate perpetually throughout life, independent of planetary Dasha periods: Rajju (all planets in movable signs), Musala (all in fixed signs), and Nala (all in dual signs) set the lifelong kinetic rhythm of the chart. Conversely, Kemadruma Yoga arises when no planet (excluding Sun, Rahu, and Ketu) occupies the first, second, or twelfth house from the Moon, though it is immediately cancelled (Kemadruma Bhanga) if planets occupy Kendras from Lagna or Chandra.
The structural matrix below details the exact computational parameters, degree thresholds, and classical interpretive clauses for Nabhasa & Kemadruma Yogas (YOGA-08) as preserved in Brihat Jataka Chapter 12 & Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 35.
| Pattern Family | Topological Condition | Key Classical Examples | Lifelong Interpretive Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ashraya Yogas (3) | All 7 Grahas in Chara, Sthira, or Dwiswabhava |
Rajju (Movable), Musala (Fixed), Nala (Dual) |
Determines whether the native builds through expedition (Rajju), permanence (Musala), or synthesis (Nala) in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
| Akriti & Dala Yogas (22) | Planets restricted to specific Kendra/Trikona axes |
Kamala (all 4 Kendras), Yava, Shringataka (1-5-9) |
Kamala confers unbroken civic authority; Shringataka concentrates fortune in the later third of life in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
| Sankhya Yogas (7) | Total count of occupied Rashis (1 to 7 signs) |
Vallaki (7 signs), Pasha (5), Kedara (4), Yuga (2) |
Measures whether planetary energy is broadly networked (Vallaki) or laser-focused (Kedara/Shoola) in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
| Lunar Flanking (4) | Occupancy of 2nd & 12th from Chandra (no Sun/Nodes) |
Sunapha (2nd), Anapha (12th), Durudhara (Both), Kemadruma (None) |
Durudhara insulates wealth and emotional steadiness; Kemadruma Bhanga requires Kendra planets in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
