Buddha (Buddhaa - Rajaon ka Raja)

It's a true story

A story of valor

Listen to the saga of Siddharth

Why is there so much grief in this world?

How do we overpower wrath and grief?

Why is there so much grief in this world?

How do we overpower wrath and grief?

He gave up everything In search of truth

He renounced wealth and comforts

He became one with the world

Siddharth attained enlightenment And became Gautam Buddha

I go to the Buddha for refuge

You didn't behead His Majesty

and you have the audacity to say that a soldier died while fighting!

What about the other soldier?

He has decided to become a monk himself

and dedicate his life serving Buddha.

I am an illiterate man, sire.

Today, I am alive

only because of you.

Have you met him before?

I tried to kill King Bimbisara for money.

I was caught.

King Bimbisara could have killed me.

But the sword fell off his hands.

He said that he would let me live

because of the promise he had made to you.

Accept me as your disciple, sire.

I will attain salvation only if you accept me as your disciple.

Please help me attain salvation.

I will never hold a weapon in my life.

Please forgive a lowlife like me.

The moment you realized

that you were about to commit a crime

at that very moment you took your first step

towards your salvation.

Om!

Om!

You wanted to see me.

My son can't look me in the eye, can he?

You are the person who hatched this terrible conspiracy!

I am ashamed to call you as my son!

After my death, you will be the King of Magadha.

Why are you so impatient?

I would've pronounced you as my successor.

I don't trust you.

What if you nominate someone else as your successor?

Whom would I nominate if not you?

You have a son with Amrapali! That courtesan!

Ajatshatru!

You cannot bear to hear me say her name!

What about me?

First, it was Amrapali.

And now Sage Buddha is also a part of your life.

You consider him more important than the Brahmins at your service.

You have been unfair to them as well.

Injustice seems your second nature.

Son, mend your ways before you lose everything.

Otherwise, you will fall so hard that you won't be able to get up.

Trust the ones who wish your well-being.

Why do you consider your well-wishers as evil?

In truth, this evil resides within you.

Once again, you have started preaching me.

Buddha has turned out to be a bad influence.

But I am not like him.

I will never hand over the safety of my kingdom to somebody else

and become a monk.

I am Ajatshatru! I will do what is expected from a warrior!

I will take the burden of protecting Magadha.

Under my command, the flag of Magadha

will wave all over Jambudweep.

The people of Magadha are absolutely safe.

The entire province of Jambudweep

considers us as an important part of it.

What's the need for bloodshed then?

You are a warrior.

Why are you afraid of bloodshed?

I hope that sinner Buddha didn't teach you this.

Ajatshatru, talking to you is futile.

I could have punished you for the attack you launched against me.

But I am your father.

You can think about killing me.

But I can't.

What can be worse for a father

that his son is his arch enemy?

I am old enough to go and live in the forest.

I want renounce this throne.

But I think

I will have to wait for another ten years.

If there's anyone I hate the most in the world,

then it is you.

Listen to me carefully.

Till you don't prove to this throne,

I won't let you ascend the throne of Magadha.

Son, do you want to reach the heights of power

by trampling over your own father?

Is this the kind of bond a father and son share?

Both of you must go back to Kapilavastu.

Give them the message

that I am coming there with my monks.

Now every house in Kapilavastu will light up with happiness.

Minister, what are you thinking about?

I am just thinking about him.

He is so calm and placid.

Just like the wandering clouds in the sky.

I have killed my worries.

I have killed my desires.

I have spent my entire life trying to fulfill my desires.

But after I saw you, I realized you're free in the true sense.

This society can't tie you up anymore.

I wish to be your disciple.

I want to be a monk.

When you come to Kapilavastu, please accept me as your disciple.

If I become a monk, I'll find myself to be very fortunate.

Channa, don't you want to become a monk?

How can I be a monk?

I am the son of a charioteer.

No, Channa. In the path to find ultimate truth,

we don't discriminate amongst people

on the basis of their color or caste.

These differences are made by the society.

These differences have nothing to do

with attaining ultimate knowledge.

Can I...

But I won't be able to become a monk even if I wanted to.

Why so?

Without Lady Yashodhara's permission

I cannot pledge to be a monk.

When I returned to Kapilavastu after dropping you to the forest,

I was really upset.

Yashodhara forgot about her pain and took care of me.

She kept consoling me.

She supported King Suddhodana and Queen Prajapati.

She brought up Rahul on her own.

I can't leave her in such a difficult situation.

Never.

In my quest to find ultimate truth,

all of you had to sacrifice a lot.

I am grateful to Yashodhara.

We shall take your leave.

We shall meet you at Kapilavastu.

People become monks.

Have you ever seen a person who is a monk from his soul?

Look at him. There he is.

The ultimate monk!

There's dancing and singing Along with liquor

In the courtesan's court.

What is this, Yasho?

I informed you that Siddharth has become a monk.

And you are following his footsteps!

I am really grateful to you that you informed me about him.

All the fascination that you had for my beauty

has now vanished.

Even this color looks good on you, Yasho.

Don't renounce the pleasures this life has to offer us.

Otherwise, your existence will be meaningless.

You are destined to be a queen, Yasho.

Marry me.

Siddharth will never be the King of the Shakyas.

But Devdutt...

Devdutt will surely be the king.

I am the one

who is immensely in love with you, Yasho.

You have grown up

but you are still interested in playing games.

I always will be interested in these games.

I will always be true to my words.

I will only feel sorry for the people of Kapilavastu

because such an incompetent man will be taking over the throne.

Of course! Only Siddharth is capable of everything, isn't he?

I have all the qualities.

Don't be so competitive.

Don't compare yourself with him.

What does Siddharth have that I don't?

When an elephant walks through a village, dogs can only bark.

Really?

I won't spare Siddharth for this...

Listen, everyone!

Listen, everyone! Minister and Channa have come back.

Minister and Channa have come back.

What news do you bring?

Say something. How are you?

Wait! Please wait!

Wait! Let them catch their breaths.

Thank you very much.

Now, it's your turn.

Tell us whether our luck will shine upon us or not.

-Yes! -Yes!

It will surely shine.

Our Prince Siddharth

is coming to Kapilavastu soon.

Thank God!

What makes the people of Kapilavastu so excited?

What is the reason behind this excitement?

Grandfather! Grandfather!

I saw that many people are walking towards our palace

along with Uncle Channa.

Why are people going crazy?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!
