moves towards the east, then the moon is visible in the west and Rahu is visible in the east.
Like the two statements about east and west, mention two statements about south and north. In the same way mention two statements for Northeast (Ishaan kone) and South-west (Nairitya kone) and two statements for South-east (Agneya kone) and North-west (Vaayavya kone)... and so on up to... then the moon is visible in the North-west and Rahu is visible in the South-east.
Thus while its wanderings, or transmuting or enjoying carnal activity, when Rahu obstructs the light of moon, then humans in the human world say "Rahu has seized the moon! Rahu has seized the moon!"
While its wanderings, or transmuting or enjoying carnal activity, when Rahu obstructs the light of moon and just passes away, then humans in the human world say "The moon has pierced the womb of Rahu! The moon has pierced the womb of Rahu!"
While its wanderings, or transmuting or enjoying carnal activity, when Rahu obstructs the light of moon and retraces the path, then humans in the human world say "Rahu has vomited the moon! Rahu has vomited the moon!"
While its wanderings, or transmuting or enjoying carnal activity, when Rahu obstructs the light of moon and passes through the middle of the moon, then humans in the human world say "Rahu has snapped the moon! Rahu has snapped the moon!"
While its wanderings, or transmuting or enjoying carnal activity, when Rahu obstructs the light of the moon on the lower side, four cardinal directions and four intermediate directions, then humans in the human world say "Rahu has swallowed the moon! Rahu has swallowed the moon!"
विवेचन—भगवान महावीर ने बताया है कि राहु ने चन्द्रमा को ग्रस लिया है, डस लिया है, द है। यह कथन केवल औपचारिक है, वास्तविक नहीं । राहु की छाया चन्द्र पर पड़ती है। अतः राहु के द्वारा चन्द्र का यह ग्रसन कार्य एक तरह से आवरण (आच्छादन) मात्र है, जो कि वैस्रसिकस्वाभाविक
है, कर्मकृत नहीं ।
