I am in agreement with you that a PapaKartari when you say that But strict definition,must mean that the 1st house / Lagna must be caught between two malefic planets . ie the malefics must be in the 2nd house and the 12th house .
Here Rahu us in the 1st house , but the ascendent is between Rahu and Kuja . Dont you think we can apply the same results that Papakartari produces to this horoscope ?
Sorry for the retrograde motion in going back to this....but I thought about this a bit.....
Technically, what AB's saying makes sense in terms of Lagna being caught b/w two malefics, BUT
I think we're not giving enough credit to the intended malfeasance of the PK yoga. It seems to me that the real intent is not the limited to house under question, but that four houses are fracked. . This can only happen when the planets are in three houses.
