शिरस्त्वमरतां नीतमजो ग्रहमचीक्लृपत् । यस्तु पर्वणि चन्द्रार्कावभिधावति वैरधी: ॥ २६ ॥

Transliteration

śiras tv amaratāṁ nītam ajo graham acīkḷpat yas tu parvaṇi candrārkāv abhidhāvati vaira-dhīḥ
Synonyms
śiraḥ — the head; tu — of course; amaratām — immortality; nītam — having obtained; ajaḥ — Lord Brahmā; graham — as one of the planets; acīkḷpat — recognized; yaḥ — the same Rāhu; tu — indeed; parvaṇi — during the periods of the full moon and dark moon; candra-arkau — both the moon and the sun; abhidhāvati — chases; vaira-dhīḥ — because of animosity.

Translation

Rāhu’s head, however, having been touched by the nectar, became immortal. Thus Lord Brahmā accepted Rāhu’s head as one of the planets. Since Rāhu is an eternal enemy of the moon and the sun, he always tries to attack them on the nights of the full moon and the dark moon.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

परन्तु सिर अमर हो गया और ब्रह्माजीने उसे ‘ग्रह’ बना दिया। वही राहु पर्वके दिन (पूर्णिमा और अमावस्याको) वैर-भावसे बदला लेनेके लिये चन्द्रमा तथा सूर्यपर आक्रमण किया करता है॥ २६॥
