經律異相 1.96

1.96

阿修倫天王名羅呼。其體高二萬八千里。以月十五日立海中央。海水裁至其臍。低頭𨶳須彌羅寶。忝山及四方上鎮。以指覆日月天下晦冥。或覆日以晝為夜。所謂日月蝕時危光明也（出樓炭經第五卷）。

The asura king is named Rāhu. His body is twenty-eight thousand li tall. On the fifteenth day of the month, he stands in the midst of the ocean, the seawater barely reaching his navel. He lowers his head to gaze at the treasures on Mount Sumeru, peering at the mountain and the four quarters' superior stations. He covers the sun and moon with his fingers, casting the world into darkness; or he covers the sun, turning day into night. This is what is meant by the eclipses of the sun and moon threatening their light. (From the Loutan jing, fascicle 5.)
