• Uma: “‘ Evil people who live at this time can be compared to a person who is possessed [lit., entered-into] by an evil-spirit. The evil-spirit goes out from that person, and wandered around in the wilderness/empty-place hunting for a dwelling-place. Because he did not find one, he said: ‘I’d better just return going to the dwelling-place that I left behind earlier.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
