Fortune
欲渡長江闊
波深未自儔
前津逢浪静
重整鉤鰲鉤
In English
- You wish to cross the broad, wide river
- the waves are deep, and you cannot yet do it alone
- at the next ford, you find the waters calm
- and ready your hook again for the great turtle
- Meaning
- The poem ends with you readying your hook again for the great turtle. After failing to cross the broad river alone, the calm water at the next ford suggests using the wait to prepare, so you are ready when the waves settle.
- What to do today
- Clean or fix one tool you use so it is ready to go.
- A word from the capybara
- Gazing at the fishing hook on the shore until the waves calm down.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
