Note: Eclipses of the sun and moon mean diminishing and waning. In general, a solar eclipse occurs when the yin and yang intersect and the sun is covered; a lunar eclipse is when the dark void, the eclipse-deity Rāhu, obscures it. A solar eclipse is a calamity for the ruler of men, an omen of the rise or fall of the state, and he ought to cultivate virtue. A lunar eclipse is a calamity for the crown prince, empresses, consorts, and great ministers, or a herald of flood, drought, abundance, or scarcity. In ancient-script characters it is written with 飤 as 蝕. The \*Shuowen\* has it with the insect radical and the sound 食; it is also called an intersecting eclipse \[交蝕\]). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 29.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.29.98) - [Next: 29.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.29.100) - [Up: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.29) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.29.99) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.29.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.29.99) · Pramāṇa
