US-P18.038ab ।US-P18.038cd ॥

In plain words

If your view is this — we call it the face's reflection, so it belongs to the face and to nothing else — no. The reflection follows the mirror. And when the face alone is there, nothing appears at all.

Close to the Sanskrit

If it is held, "Because of the designation by means of the face, that (reflection) is of the face alone" — no; because of its conforming to the mirror, and because of its non-manifestation when the face is present.
