內務省參事官松本郁郎氏,將以公事赴濃尾,因請占任命事件。筮得頤之噬嗑。

此卦內卦為震動,外卦為艮止,知足下赴濃尾地方,為辦理震災後之事宜也,震動艮止,其象昭然。

頤養之道,以下養上為正,今震災之後,民不得食,朝廷為發票賑濟,是以上而養下也,顛倒也,故曰「顛頤,吉」。「虎視眈眈,其欲逐逐」,屬在災民,其惶惶求食,儼如餓虎,亦無足怪。然其中保無奸吏營私,視政府賑災之餉,陰作中飽之圖?所謂「視眈眈」,「欲逐逐」者,亦未始無人也。足下辦此災案,尤當察其奸曲。

此爻變為噬嗑,噬嗑為卦,用獄明罰,所謂「小懲而大誡之」也。恤此災民,懲彼奸吏,雖有「虎視眈眈,其欲逐逐」,固無咎也。

松本氏首肯而去,後果如此占。
