[translation-san] rāhu

[translation-eng] {Hopkins} Rāhu [in Indian astronomy, the name of a ""planet""]

[comments] Comment: The ascending eclipse node, that is the point where the moon intercepts the eclipitic in passing northwards, a.k.a. the northern node; the head of the demon Sainhikeya who swallows the moon and sun. Rāhu is all head with no body.
