भूच्छायां स्वग्रहणे भास्करं अर्कग्रहे प्रविशतिइन्दुः । प्रग्रहणं अतः पश्चान्नैन्दोर्भानोश्च पूर्वार्धात् ॥ ५-०८ ॥

sanskrit

The truth is that in her own eclipse, the moon enters the shadow of the earth, and in that of the sun, the solar disc. Hence, the lunar eclipse does not commence at the western limb nor the solar at the eastern limb.
