6 田子方:
百里奚爵祿不入於心,故飯牛而牛肥,使秦穆公忘其賤,與之政也。有虞氏死生不入於心,故足以動人。
Tian Zi-fang:
The ideas of rank and emolument did not enter the mind of Bai-li Xi, and so he became a cattle-feeder, and his cattle were all in fine condition. This made duke Mu of Qin forget the meanness of his position, and put the government (of his state) into his hands. Neither life nor death entered into the mind of (Shun), the Lord of Yu, and therefore he was able to influence others.
