The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
顛頤吉,虎視眈眈,其欲逐逐,无咎。
The fourth line, divided, shows one looking downwards for (the power to) nourish. There will be good fortune. Looking with a tiger’s downward unwavering glare, and with his desire that impels him to spring after spring, he will fall into no error. (Legge, 1882)
