Line 3
六三 見輿曳。其牛掣。其人天且劓。无初有終。
Six in the third place means: One sees the wagon dragged back, The oxen halted, A man's hair and nose cut off. Not a good beginning, but a good end.

Yilin Verse
狐狸雉兔，畏人逃去。分走竄匿，不知所處。
Fox and pheasant, hare and rabbit; fearing humans, they flee. Scattering and hiding away; not knowing where to go.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
Commentary
Fire above the lake, predator and prey estranged by mutual terror. Foxes, pheasants, and hares all fear humankind and scatter in every direction — fleeing, hiding, burrowing — until none knows where any has gone. The verse captures panic as a contagion: one creature bolts and all follow, each running blindly without destination. The scene is Opposition manifested as universal flight, where estrangement has become so total that every being treats every other as a threat. From Opposition to Great Possession, fire blazes in heaven, illuminating all. The transformation reveals that scattered fear can resolve into abundance only when a clarifying light appears overhead, suppressing evil and elevating good, restoring trust so that creatures need no longer flee.
