21.83

Rāhu (羅睺: 睺 is pronounced with the fanqie 胡搆 [hòu]. 'Rā' here means 'to take' or 'seize'; 'hu' means 'to vex'. This asura can obscure and seize the radiance of the sun and moon, causing the devas within them to suffer distress. Or it is called Rāhuṇa, which is translated here as 'fame heard everywhere': because the sun and moon shine upon the whole world, when he eclipses them, his name is heard throughout the world).
