- Line 1: When a man meets his destined ruler, they can be together ten days, and it is not a mistake. Going meets with recognition.
- Line 2: The curtain is so thick that the polestars can be seen at noon. By going one meets with mistrust and hate. If one rouses him through truth, good fortune comes.
- Line 3: The underbrush is so thick that the small stars can be seen at noon. He breaks his right arm. No blame.
- Line 4: The curtain is so thick that the polestars can be seen at noon. He meets his ruler, who is of like kind. Good fortune.
- Line 5: Lines are coming, blessing and fame draw near. Good fortune.
- Line 6: His house is in a state of abundance. He screens off his family. He peers through the gate and no longer sees anyone. For three years he sees nothing. Misfortune.
