### [4.258](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.258)

演若達多，此云祠授。本頭與鏡俱喻性覺。照面喻強覺忽生，所相妄立。愛喻堅執不捨，認相為真。既喜有相，反惡無相，故嗔己頭不見面目。真無形相，不順妄情，便生驚怖。執相迷性，輪迴不息，故云狂走。魑魅，山澤之怪也。

> Yajñadatta is translated here as 'Cisou' (Sacrifice-Bestowed). The original head and the mirror both symbolize the nature of awakening. Looking at the face symbolizes the sudden arising of forced perception, with objective marks falsely established. Loving symbolizes clinging firmly without letting go, mistaking marks for reality. Since he delights in having marks, he inversely dislikes marklessness, and thus rebukes his own head for not seeing its face and eyes. Reality has no shape or marks; not conforming to deluded feelings, fright and terror then arise. Clinging to marks and deluded about nature, wandering without cease, it is thus called 'running wildly'. Evil spirits (chimci) are monsters of mountains and marshes.
