- "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). "

- "(simply) a bottle of spirits, and a subsidary basket of rice, while "
- "(the cups and bowls) are (only) of eartherware. He introduces his "

- "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. "
