THE JUDGEMENT

Dispersion. Success. The king approaches his temple. It furthers to cross the great water. Perseverance furthers.

The wind moves over the water: the image of Dispersion. Thus the kings of old sacrificed to the Lord and built temples.

Six at the beginningHe gives aid with the strength of a horse: good fortune.

Nine in the second placeIn the dissolution he runs to his support: remorse vanishes.

Six in the third placeHe dissolves his self: no remorse.

Six in the fourth placeHe dissolves his own group: supreme good fortune. From dissolution rises a mound: this is not what common men think of.

Nine in the fifth placeLike sweat are his loud calls in the dissolution. Dissolution: a king abides without blame.

Nine at the topHe dissolves his blood: to go far from danger, to depart from it, is without blame.
