Auspicious Nitya Yogas gathers the eighteen of the panchanga's twenty seven daily yogas classed as favourable, computed from the combined longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. That summed arc is divided into twenty seven equal parts of thirteen degrees twenty minutes, and a new yoga completes each time the two luminaries together advance by one such span; nitya, daily, distinguishes them from other yoga terms used elsewhere in the panchanga.
Most of the eighteen carry a plain Sanskrit meaning that states their character directly. Priti, love, favours reconciliation and courtship. Ayushman, long lived, favours health and ventures meant to last. Saubhagya, good fortune, is among the most favoured for weddings. Sukarma names good deeds outright and favours charitable acts. Dhriti, steadfastness, suits work needing endurance rather than a single transaction. Vriddhi, growth, favours planting and investment. Dhruva, fixed, named for the pole star of Hindu myth, favours foundations meant to endure. Siddhi and Siddha, accomplishment and the accomplished state, are both counted favourable and share one root. Shubha is simply one of the most general words for auspicious, without any narrower association. Shukla, bright, ties its favour to the moon's waxing half.
Three depart from this pattern. Shobhana, beautiful, is a common Sanskrit adjective rather than a term coined for the yoga. Variyana is grammatically a superlative, best, rather than a plain noun. Two carry a deity's name outright: Brahma, favouring creative and founding work, and Indra, favouring leadership and authority, closing the run of eighteen favourable yogas before the nine malefic ones that follow.
