Devi Simhika - Mother of Svarbhānu (later known as Rahu & Ketu)

Daughter of Hiranyakashipu, Sister of Bhakta Prahlad.
Devi Simika was booned by Brahma to control the Shadow, she was the controller of Devi Chaya/shadow the mother of Lord Shanidev & wife of Sun.
The Father Sun God is energy source and chaya/mother is like an Umbrella always, we get comfort under the shadow of a tree similarly DEVI chaya is the motherly side of The Sun.

Simhika was so powerful that it& #39;s been said in one text, the birth of Hanuman was to kill Simhika.
Rahu & Ketu are similalry known as shadow Grahas, however because this material world is so Illusioned & Rahu/ketu controls this. They are the King & Beggar makers graha in astrology. From extreme to the most fallen.
The Sutra - With whomever Rahu sits, would behave according, comes from the story of Mohini avatar.
So after the immortality nectar/amrut appeared from the churning of the milk ocean/samudra manthan, the necatar was suppose to be distributed among the devtas & danavas equally.
Mohini cheated by putting the danavs under an illusion of her beauty & make them wait for their turn to have amrut, she distributed most of it to The Devtas. From the danavas side, Sarvabhānu was very focused & understood the trick played by Shree Vishnu in Mohini form,
so he took the form of a Devta & had a sip, he sat between The Sun & The Moon. They both complained & his neck was chopped by the Sudarshan chakra by Shree Vishnu.
God knows what& #39;s happening, he already knew about Sarvabhānu however he wanted to set an example & it was very much necessary for the creation.

Because he sat with devtas/good planet, he has devtas like quality & when he sits with danavas/mallific, he behaves accordingly.
Because he had amrut, so he gives good results, long term results, life chanfing and because he is also a danava consuming Varuni madira so gives mallefic results.
When he sat between The Sun & The Moon, they compalined & the head got chopped due to which, he hates these two graha & wants to eat them up, The Eclipse. Now because Rahu doesn& #39;t have a body so even after swollowing The Sun & Moon they pass out form the neck portion.
If we see this as per The bhakti point of view. Even a sinner sitting among Saints, with their aura they turn to a saintly/devta person. This is Ketu with exalted or friendly Jupiter.
The Time when Sarvabhānu decides to drink amrut is the Exaltaion (Gemini or Taurus axis) & the time his head gets chopped is when it behaves debilited.
So Rahu had the desire to rule the whole Universe & when the head was chopped, whatever he puts within him comes out easily as his body is illusionery and without a body but if a benific planet aspect or sit, it can sustain whatever he desires & can make turn a person to The King
