Left element of「distinguish, recognize. Repeated sticky splats or puckered anus」「able to distinguish and recognize the difference between clean emissions of semen and those with gonorrhea.」Right element「captured, imprisoned in a line, guarded.」Modern replacement element of「genitals leashed」that describes tying the genitals of prisoners together with a minimum of slack between persons to prevent escape, much like a dog and bitch that cannot run and escape hunters while copulating. Right element is said to be the same pronunciation as the word「Buddha」in Sanskrit. Together meaning to「distinguish and recognize Buddha as…[you can fill in the blank here]」but otherwise meaning to EXPLAIN, to RELEASE as「repeated emissions while monitoring a genital disease.」Today, it is not clear whether Siddhartha suffered from gonorrhea, but if so, it would be no surprise to learn that all references have been expunged from the official records…before setting off to find enlightenment, he did utilize a large harem consisting mostly of women.
　Note that the Chinese sages lampooned religion in glyphs as often as they lampooned royalty, and generally detested Buddhism (they themselves were Taoists). Literally, elements also depict a line of prisoners or slaves tied together with a long rope binding each man's testicles at very short intervals (about one foot apart) to prevent escape by causing the group to move in unison or risk falling over and preventing them from running off, but the close proximity to the person in front of each prisoner, combined with the various deprivations normally associated with captivity, may have promoted some repeated anal bobbing actions of each man in line with the person in front, even if accidental and not a deliberate attempt at penetration. These physical conditions that the prisoners were subjected to EXPLAINED all these various and obvious actions, likely thought as quite comical by the guards, and may have also caused the RELEASE of some pent-up frustrations. Note again that the sages generally were not adherents of Buddhism, so to disrespect that philosophy caused no concern among them. Further note that it was unlikely slaves or prisoners would have ever been given rice repeatedly to sort out the pebbles, as some scholars suggest.
