Line Commentary
Remorse vanishes. During the hunt three kinds of game are caught. When a responsible position and accumulated experience lead one to combine innate modesty with energetic action, great success is assured. When the catch serves all three purposes—offerings, feasting, and everyday consumption—the hunt was especially successful.
