It would run away from the āśrama and graze hidden from Sītā but would come back again to the vision of Sītā. It would mix with the deer of the āśrama for some time and run away from them to distant places. Like a butterfly it flitted about always trying to attract the attention of Sītā. Other deer approached it but on getting its scent flew away from it. The false deer suppressing the demon-instinct in him to kill and eat the animals which came near it played well the role of a fawn. - [Previous: c8.614](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.614) - [Next: c8.616](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.616) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.615](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.615) · Pramāṇa
