遯 第三十三 Hexagram 33 · Dùn
遯：亨。小利貞。
Thun indicates successful progress (in its circumstances). To a small extent it will (still) be advantageous to be firm and correct.
初六：遯尾，厲，勿用有攸往。
The first line, divided, shows a retiring tail. The position is perilous. No movement in any direction should be made.
六二：執之用黃牛之革，莫之勝說。
The second line, divided, shows its subject holding (his purpose) fast as if by a (thong made from the) hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken.
九三：係遯，有疾厲，畜臣妾吉。
The third line, undivided, shows one retiring but bound,—to his distress and peril. (If he were to deal with his binders as in) nourishing a servant or concubine, it would be fortunate for him.
九四：好遯君子吉，小人否。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune; a small man cannot attain to this.
