And without limits
In his tolerance and protection of the people.

Return. Success.
Going out and coming in without error.

Thunder within the earth:
The image of The Turning Point.
Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes
At the time of solstice.
Merchants and strangers did not go about,
And the ruler
Did not travel through the provinces.
