“Aryabhatiya Golapada IV.37 (499 CE) gives the correct geometric mechanism of both eclipses: the Sun is obscured when the Moon comes between Earth and Sun; the Moon is obscured when it passes into the Earth's shadow. Brahmagupta directly attacked this in Brahmasphuta- siddhanta XI.9 (628 CE), calling Aryabhata's eclipse account "false" and re-affirming the demon Rahu. The geometric reading did not become Indian astronomical mainstream until the Kerala school ~1500 CE. ”
