Of those in the past that attained the One –
Heaven, by attaining the One became clear;
Earth, by attaining the One became stable;
Gods, by attaining the One became divine;
Valleys, by attaining the One became full;
Marquises and kings, by attaining the One made the whole land ordered and secure.

Taking this to its logical conclusion we would say –
If Heaven were not by means of it clear, it would, I'm afraid, shatter;
If the Earth were not by means of it stable, it would, I'm afraid, let go.
If the gods were not by means of it divine, they would, I'm afraid, be powerless.
If valleys were not by means of it full, they would, I'm afraid, dry up.
And if marquises and kings were not by means of it noble and high, they would, I'm afraid, topple and fall.

Therefore, it must be the case that the noble has the base as its root;
And it must be the case that the high has the low for its foundation.
Thus, for this reason, marquises and kings call themselves "The Orphan," "The Widower," and "The One Without Grain."
This is taking the base as one's root, is it not?!
Therefore, they regard their large numbers of carriages as having no carnage.
And because of this, they desire not to dazzle and glitter like jade,
But to remain firm and strong like stone.
