above     Sun    The Gentle, Wind

     The Judgement

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

     The Image

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