Where the text names it

P195.L20

گزلیک را روی بام سوت کردم چون همهٔ افکار جنایت‌آمیز را این گزلیک برایم تولید کرده بود. این گزلیک را که شبیه گزلیک مرد قصاب بود از خودم دور کردم.

I flung the knife onto the roof because this knife had generated all those murderous thoughts in me. I cast away the knife, which resembled the butcher’s knife.
