Translation
(NEVER SWERVE FROM THE GOAL)
There exist other esteemed planets also five or six like Brhaspati and others. Raahu does not maintain any enmity towards them, though he has a taste for conquering those of brilliant luster. Observe brothers! The king of the demons, Raahu, who is left alive with just a head, catches only the two shining lords of the day and night, Sun and Moon, at the time of eclipse. ॥ 26 ॥
