4.319

初二句牒,本自下二句定。自,本也。然,是也。頭本如是,無有如是之頭不是於本,故云無然非自。何因下破,可知。

The first two lines reiterate; the two lines from "fundamentally of itself" downward establish. "Self" (zi) means fundamentally. "So" (ran) means being thus. The head is fundamentally like this; there is no such head that is not fundamentally so; hence it says, "there was nothing of its being so that was not of itself." From "due to what causes" downward refutes it, as can be understood.
