zmena fqqqempq0. 'Pitr-vana' means 'cemetary', and 'pis'aca' a goblin, an evil spirit. Therefore this expression means resorting to a cemetary through fear of a goblin. It thus means going from had to worse. i. e. from a frying pan into fire. The corresponding Guj. proverb is “ ओलामांथी चूलामां". This has a parallel in “वृश्चिकभिया पलायमान आशीविषमुखे fata:"i. e. running away through fear of a scorpion, he falls into the mouth of a poisonous snake occurring in Nyāyavārtikatātparyaṭīkā (p. 53). Cf. "avoiding Scylla, he falls into Charybdis".
