Judgment 卦辞
利西南得朋，东北丧朋。安贞，吉。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.
Commentary on the Judgment 彖曰
至哉坤元，万物资生，乃顺承天。坤厚载物，德合无疆；含弘光大，品物咸亨。牝马地类，行地无疆，柔顺利贞。君子攸行，先迷失道，后顺得常。西南得朋，乃与类行，东北丧朋，乃终有庆。安贞之吉，应地无疆。至哉坤元，萬物資生，乃順承天。坤厚載物，德合无疆；含弘光大，品物咸亨。牝馬地類，行地无疆，柔順利貞。君子攸行，先迷失道，後順得常。西南得朋，乃與類行，東北喪朋，乃終有慶。安貞之吉，應地无疆。
