"Khan, here repeated, show the possession of sincerity, through which "
"the mind is penetrating. Action (in accordance with this) will be "
"of high value. "
" "
"1. The first line, divided, show its subject in the double defile, "
"and, (yet) entering a cavern within it. There will be evil. "
" "
"2. The second line, undivided, shows its subject in all the peril of "
"the defile. He will, however, get a little (of the deliverance) "
"that he seeks. "
" "
"3. The third line, divided, shows its subject, whether he comes or "
"goes (=decends or ascends), confronted by a defile. All is peril "
"to him and unrest. (His endeavours) will lead him into the caverns "
"of the pit. There should be no action (in such a case). "
" "
"4. The fourth line, divided, shows its subject (at a feast), with "
"(simply) a bottle of spirits, and a subsidary basket of rice, while "
"(the cups and bowls) are (only) of eartherware. He introduces his "
"important lessons (as his ruler's) intelligence admits. There will "
"in the end be no error. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, undivided, shows the water of the defile not yet "
"full, (so that it might flow away); but order will (soon) be brought "
"about. There will be no error. "
" "
"6. The topmost line, divided, shows its subject bound with cords of "
"three strands or two strands, and placed in the thicket of thorns. "
"But in three years he does not learn the course for him to pursue. "
"There will be evil. "

" Water flows ever onwards to its ultimate goal, bringing life to every"
" place it touches. Likewise, a great person proceeds steadily with his"
" duties, encouraging the good in all people and things. Dangers and"
" difficulties do not deflect him from his task"
