The Clinging: perseverance furthers. Success. Caring for a cow brings good fortune. 1. Footsteps cross — be reverent. No blame. 2. Yellow light. Supreme good fortune. 3. Setting sun's light. Without drumming and singing, the old lament. Misfortune. 4. Sudden — burning, dying, abandoned. 5. Weeping in floods, sighing and lamenting. Good fortune. 6. The king sets forth. Good to punish chiefs; capturing followers — no blame.
