It's a true story

A story of valor

Listen to the saga of Siddharth

It's a true story

A story of valor

Listen to the saga of Siddharth

Just like the rising sun

Radiant and glorious Only him, no one

When he bellows and sets off

The sky trembles in fear

He is a prince and brave!

His arrows can pierce through mountains!

He is peace personified An idol of compassion

Relentless stream of kindness!

He is a prince and brave!

His arrows can pierce through mountains!

The scion of Shakya clan

His brilliance

Shines through the world

It's a true story

A story of valor

Listen to the saga of Siddharth

Manjarika, do you know where the prince is?

I saw him going to the stable.

-Channa. -Yes?

Where is Siddharth?

He is beneath the tree over that hill.

Gopa, what are you doing here?

What happened?

They say that Devdaha faces severe shortage of water.

I don't think that's true.

Look at your eyes. They're always welled with tears.

They say that the prince of Kapilavastu

loves the princess of Devdaha.

I don't think that's true either.

You're very casual towards the groom choosing ceremony.

Devdutt is practicing for hours on end, but look at you.

You do not trust me,

but you should have some faith in our love.

Strength is mental rather than physical.

If you are at peace, you will win.

What happened?

Why are you beating your bulls so mercilessly?

Greetings, Prince.

The wheel of my cart is stuck in a pothole.

The wheel will not come out if you hit the bulls.

Come on, I will help you.

Prince, please stop. What are you doing?

I am helping him.

Maybe it is a sin.

A sin?

What kind of sin?

Do you not know he is an untouchable?

You are an untouchable! You cannot even stop him!

Fall at the prince's feet and apologize!

Hold on!

Why should he apologize to me?

He touched you and thus committed a sin.

He did not touch me. I touched him.

He traveled on the path reserved for Brahmins and it's a grave sin.

How is that a sin?

Anyone can use this path.

The universe, water, wind, soil, they are for everyone.

He has committed a sin towards God and he should be punished.

God has created you as well as him.

If he has committed any sin, let God punish him.

You have no right to punish him!

You are just a Brahmin. You have no authority.

God is the supreme authority.

Do not forget, Prince! I am God's image on this earth.

I am akin to God!

I am a scholar of the Vedas

and through rituals and rites, I have earned merits!

If what you say is true, the let us compare both of you.

This man has given his sweat and blood to cultivate this field.

Thanks to his efforts, it has flourished.

Will your knowledge of the Vedas prevent them from wilting?

You consider yourself an image of God on this earth.

Can you push this cart out of the pothole without touching it?

You are insulting me, Prince.

You have insulted this man.

Do not forget that you are questioning religion here.

No, sir. I am just trying to help a man.

I am not questioning religion,

but the hatred that's allowed under the ruse of religion.

A religion must help unite the entire humanity.

It should be cohesive, nor divisive.

Your caste should depend on your work, not on your religion.

Religion trumps everything. Everything!

Religion helps people to be aware

of their limitations.

Who made religion?

Humans.

We claim to be the descendants of Manu.

Lord Brahma is our forefather.

Did you ever try to find out Lord Shiva's caste?

Did you ever ask Lord Brahma about his race?

What about Lord Vishnu's caste?

If we are all descendants of Manu,

he is just as Brahmin

as you are.

If he is not a Brahmin,

you too are an untouchable like him.

It's time to get it unstuck.

Then push!

Siddharth!

Siddharth!

God has punished you, Prince!

Siddharth should not have opposed the Brahmins.

How can you object? You too were against sage Asit.

Your Majesty.

The Prince has been hurt badly.

His two fingers are mutilated.

Sir, will the prince be able

to participate in the ceremony after two days?

No. He will take time to recuperate.

What will happen to Gopa?

Devdutt!

God has heard our prayers.

God has heard our prayers!

Now everything is clear

and wide and open.

Siddhartha won't participate in the groom choosing ceremony.

Yashodhara is yours now.

Soon you'll become...

the king of the Shakyas.

You are omniscient!

You know...

I have already considered Siddharth as mine.

If Siddharth won't participate in the ceremony...

my death is certain.

Congratulations, King Dandapani.

Your wish has come true.

Devdutt has no worthy adversary now.

Excellent news!

I will not eat or drink water

till Siddharth wins the competition.

Yasho, you have taken a terrible pledge.

You won't drink water till the competition?

Aunt, I'll be fine.

I will live for Siddharth.

I will die...

for Siddharth.

How are you, my son?

Father?

You are crying?

Your tears

mean more to me than my life.

Are you worried about the ceremony?

Didn't you say

that a warrior must fight for everything?

I am a warrior!

I will have to win the competition to marry Gopa,

and I am a worthy adversary!

But your wound...

A wound is a warrior's jewel, father.

As long as your blessings

and Gopa's love are with me,

no one can stop me from winning the competition.

Not even God.

May you be victorious.

Please calm down!

This is the last day of the Shakya youth festival

and King Dandapani has announced

a groom choosing ceremony for his daughter, Yashodhara.

The winner of this competition

shall marry Princess Yashodhara.

I hope you have explained Devdutt

what needs to be done.

I have!

I have also explained Guru Dharmanishtha.

He'll take care of everything.

I welcome all of you.

I want my daughter, Yashodhara,

to marry a worthy warrior.
