Name: a blow, or thwarting
Vyaghata means a blow or a thwarting — the sense of an effort meeting sudden, forceful resistance. It is one of the nine inauspicious Yogas and is classically associated with injury, conflict and the frustration of plans rather than with gentle delay.

A Nitya Yoga is one of 27 periods based on the sum (not the difference, as with Tithi) of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, each 13°20' wide.
