(Sick/dead man)--The world outside the palace
Eventually Siddhartha began to see, out-side the sanctuary of the palace, sickness, old age and death. Then he saw a recluse and realized that the only way to overcome sickness, old age and death was to leave home and attain enlightenment. Siddhartha decided to leave his family and home for solitude and meditation.
In the simple pictures one emaciated body tells the story. In the complex ones, life goes on as usual in the palace, but outside the walls in the lower right can be seen illness and in the lower left, death.
(White horse over wall)--Renunciation
His father, learning of Siddhartha 췷 intentions to leave the palace, placed extra guards by the gates and others to watch over his son at all times.
But Siddhartha, with the aid of the four guardians and other spirits, was able to escape over the wall on his favorite white horse.
A white horse taking to the air, with his master astride it and the groom hanging on to the tail, represents renunciation.
