Hexagram 2 Yielding · Judgement
坤：元亨，利牝馬之貞。君子有攸往，先迷後得，主利。西南得朋，東北喪朋。安貞，吉。
Khwăn (represents) what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and having the firmness of a mare. When the superior man (here intended) has to make any movement, if he take the initiative, he will go astray; if he follow, he will find his (proper) lord. The advantageousness will be seen in his getting friends in the south-west, and losing friends in the north-east. If he rest in correctness and firmness, there will be good fortune.
James Legge, 1882
