@ Shivang and Lola,
Well about the word 'Adhi' – Excellent explanation ⭐️ by Dear Sis Lola, Yes the superlative is the main element in all these concepts.
Just trying to add a bit from my side:– I have tried to find out the meanings of these words from Sanskrit to English.

While going through Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran, I few days ago, I found out this beautiful explanation about the Creation😊. Since these words are discussed here, I decided to post this part of Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran in this context.
(A bit of background:Souce-Wikipedia:-It is from the Dwitiya Skanda(Book 2), Adhayay 10. Where Shukdev tells Parikishit that when one is about to die, they should become free of the fear of death and let go of all attachments to pleasure, home, and family. They should control the breath and mind and concentrate on the sacred Aum. The development of yoga and bhakti, different types of dharana, the nature of Bhagavan, and the liberation of a yogi upon his death are also explained by Suka. In response to Parikshit's questions, Suka describes creation and the avatars of Vishnu, concluding with a description of the ten characteristics of a Purana.)
I could not find the original Sanskrit text(reading original text always makes things easy…I know that…, but 😔 …can't help here😭 …), so posting 2 versions of the translations. The one with Blue is a bit tough(IMO😊)… and the one with Red is a bit easier-(IMO😊). Here, we get a detailed view about the the three words- Adhyatmik, Adhidaivik, Adhibhautik.

(1) S'r S'uka said: 'In this [book, the S'rmad Bhgavatam] are discussed the following [ten] subjects: primary creation [sarga], how the interactions of life and the lifeless came about [visarga], the planetary order [sthna], the maintenance of belief [poshana], the impetus for action [taya], the administrative eras [manvantaras], stories about the Lord His appearances [s'a-anukath], returning to God [nirodha], liberation in devotional service [mukti] and the summum bonum [the life of Krishna, s'raya].
(SB 2.10.1: Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said: In the Srimad-Bhagavatam there are ten divisions of statements regarding the following: the creation of the universe, subcreation, planetary systems, protection by the Lord, the creative impetus, the change of Manus, the science of God, returning home, back to Godhead, liberation, and the summum bonum.)
(2) The great sages reduce the purpose of [the first nine] characteristics of this [Bhgavatam] to the clarification of the summum bonum. This they deduced from either the words themselves used in the text or from their purport.
(SB 2.10.2: To isolate the transcendence of the summum bonum, the symptoms of the rest are described sometimes by Vedic inference, sometimes by direct explanation, and sometimes by summary explanations given by the great sages.)
(3) The [sixteen elements of the five] gross elements, the [five] sense objects and the senses themselves including the mind, constitute the manifestation which is called the creation of the creator [sarga] and that what resulted from their interaction with the three modes of nature [the gunas] is what is called the secondary creation [visarga].
(SB 2.10.3: The elementary creation of sixteen items of matter — namely the five elements [fire, water, land, air and sky], sound, form, taste, smell, touch, and the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin and mind — is known as sarga, whereas subsequent resultant interaction of the modes of material nature is called visarga.)
(4) The stability of the worlds [sthna] is the victory of the Lord of Vaikunthha and His mercy is the maintenance of belief [poshana]. The reign of the Manus [during de manvantaras] settles the perfection of the dutifulness that constitutes the impetus for action with the karmic propensities [taya].
(SB 2.10.4: The right situation for the living entities is to obey the laws of the Lord and thus be in perfect peace of mind under the protection of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Manus and their laws are meant to give right direction in life. The impetus for activity is the desire for fruitive work.)
(5) The different stories about the Lord [s'a-anukath] describe the activities of the avatras of the Personality of Godhead and the persons who are His followers.
(SB 2.10.5: The science of God describes the incarnations of the Personality of Godhead and His different activities together with the activities of His great devotees.)
(6) Returning to God [nirodha] pertains to the resigning of souls to the Original Person and His energies, while liberation [mukti] is concerned with forsaking other ways [of living] in order to get established in the Original Nature.
(SB 2.10.6: The merging of the living entity, along with his conditional living tendency, with the mystic lying down of the Maha-Vishnu is called the winding up of the cosmic manifestation. Liberation is the permanent situation of the form of the living entity after he gives up the changeable gross and subtle material bodies.)
(7) He who as the source from which the cosmic manifestation takes place also stands for the return to God, is for that reason called the reservoir [the s'raya] of the Supreme Spirit or the Supersoul.
(SB 2.10.7: The supreme one who is celebrated as the Supreme Being or the Supreme Soul is the supreme source of the cosmic manifestation as well as its reservoir and winding up. Thus He is the Supreme Fountainhead, the Absolute Truth.)
(8) He as the individual person in possession of his senses [adhytmika] is as well the controlling deity [adhidaivika] as the person who separate therefrom is perceived as another embodied living being [adhibhautika].
(SB 2.10.8: The individual person possessing different instruments of senses is called the adhyatmic person, and the individual controlling deity of the senses is called adhidaivic. The embodiment seen on the eyeballs is called the adhibhautic person.)
(9) He who knows that one cannot understand anyone of these three without the other two, knows that He, the Supersoul is the support for His own shelter.
(SB 2.10.9: All three of the above-mentioned stages of different living entities are interdependent. In the absence of one, another is not understood. But the Supreme Being who sees every one of them as the shelter of the shelter is independent of all, and therefore He is the supreme shelter.)
I know it is Really Tough (not totally clear to me😆😆 …), still thought it may help to explain the concepts a bit further. Now it is completely upto you two… if you feel its not helping /irrelevant here, then there is no need to go into SUCH DETAILS 😕 😕 😭, just ignore this post😊 …We have many more topics going on in the CC😊...
Jai Shri Krishna. Jai Shri Ram
