somena saha rāhuśca yuddhaṃ cakre sudāruṇam | rāhuṇā candradehotthamamṛtaṃ bhakṣitaṃ tadā | saṃparkādamṛsyaiva yathā rāhustathā'bhavat

Translation

راہو نے سوم (چندرما) کے ساتھ نہایت ہولناک جنگ کی۔ اسی وقت راہو نے چاند کے جسم ہی سے اُٹھا ہوا اَمرت نگل لیا؛ اور اَمرت کے اس تماس سے راہو ویسا ہی بن گیا جیسا وہ آج ہے۔

The verse occurs within Kedārakhaṇḍa (Kedāra sacred region) as part of a broader Śaiva mahātmya, though this specific line narrates a cosmic episode rather than a local rite.

None is stated in this verse.
