Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 5, Ch. 16]
maṇḍode puraṇaṁ caiva vyatyāsaṁ kṣīra-sāgare rāhu-soma-ravīṇāṁ ca maṇḍalād dvi-guṇoktitām vinaiva sarvam unneyaṁ yojanābhedato 'tra tu
It appears from these verses that aside from the sun and moon, there is an invisible planet called Rāhu. The movements of Rāhu cause both solar and lunar eclipses. We suggest that the modern expeditions attempting to reach the moon are mistakenly going to Rāhu.
TEXT 9
एवं दक्षिणेनेलावृतं निषधो हेमकूटो हिमालय इति प्रागायतायथा नीलादयो- ऽयुतयोजनोत्सेधा हरिवर्षकिम्पुरुषभारतानां यथासंख्यम् ॥९॥

TRANSLATION
Similarly, south of Ilāvṛta-varṣa and extending from east to west are three great mountains named (from north to south) Niṣadha, Hemakūṭa and Himālaya. Each of them is 10,000 yojanas [80,000 miles] high. They mark the boundaries of the three varṣas named Hari-varṣa, Kimpuruṣa-varṣa and Bhārata-varṣa [India].
