《遯 - Dun》

English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 遯:
遯亨,遯而亨也。剛當位而應,與時行也。小利貞,浸而長也。遯之時義大矣哉!
Tuan Zhuan:
'Dun indicates successful progress:' - that is, in the very retiring which Dun denotes there is such progress. The strong (line) is in the ruling place, (the fifth), and is properly responded to (by the second line). The action takes place according to (the requirement of) the time. 'To a small extent it will (still) be advantageous to be firm and correct:' - (the small men) are gradually encroaching and advancing. Great indeed is the significance of (what is required to be done in) the time that necessitates retiring.
