Hexagram 44 姤, Line 3
姤
Hexagram 44 · third line, undivided (nine)
臀无膚，其行次且，厲，无大咎。
The third line, undivided, shows one from whose buttocks the skin has been stripped so that he walks with difficulty. The position is perilous, but there will be no great error.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
其行次且，行未牽也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 44 becomes hexagram 6.
← Hexagram 44 姤: judgment and all lines
