The Judgement:
In Chin we see a prince securing the tranquillity of the people, presented on that account with numerous horses by the king,and three times in a day received at interviews.

Commentary:
In Chin we have the bright sun appearing above the earth; the symbol of docile submission cleaving to that of the great brightness; and the weak line advanced and moving above: all these things give us the idea of 'a prince securing the tranquillity of the people, presented on that account with numerous horses by the king , and three times in a day received at interviews'.
