Abstract	Daridrāyoga is an important concept in classical Jyotiṣa associated with poverty, deprivation, and sustained material suffering. Ancient Indian tradition perceives daridrya not merely as economic scarcity but as a multidimensional condition affecting physical, mental, and social well-being. The present study analyzes Daridrāyoga on the basis of classical Jyotiṣa texts and correlates it with the concept of Daridrya-roga in śāstric literature. The paper discusses philosophical foundations rooted in karmasiddhānta, major astrological configurations responsible for Daridrāyoga, and the affliction of wealth-producing houses. Traditional remedial measures such as mantra, dāna, vrata, and ethical conduct are also briefly examined. The study emphasizes that Daridrāyoga represents a modifiable karmic condition rather than absolute fatalism, allowing scope for conscious remedial action.
