    42 Increase
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Increase. Gain by having a place to go. 
Advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The sixth line:
    No increase when someone attacks. 
Setting the heart without constancy:
misfortune.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    3 Sprouting
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure. 
No need to go far: 
gain by naming allies.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Wind and thunder: 
increase. The noble one 
sees perfection 
and shifts to fit its pattern, 
and corrects his own faults.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
