坎

Dispersion. Success. The king approaches the temple. It furthers one to cross the great water. Perseverance furthers.
The wind drives over the water: the image of Dispersion. Thus the kings of old sacrificed to the Lord and built temples.
They bring help with the strength of a horse. Good fortune.
At the dissolution, they hurry to that which supports. Remorse disappears.
They dissolve the self. No remorse.
They dissolve the bond with the group. Supreme good fortune. Dispersion leads in turn to accumulation. This is something that ordinary people do not think of.
Their loud cries are as dissolving as sweat. Dissolution! A king abides without blame.
They dissolve their blood. Departing, keeping at a distance, going out, is without blame.
