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

A warrior feels ecstatic when his sword is honored.

But the warrior's wife always dreads the day

when he goes to war.

Prajapati,

you do not have to worry about me.

I won't be alone in the battlefield.

My son will accompany me.

His battle plan has impressed the Shakyas.

Where is he now?

He rode out on Kanthak at dawn.

Rode out?

He knew we were supposed to march out today.

How could he leave alone?

Please do not be worried.

Perhaps this is also a part of his battle plan.

May Goddess Abhya protect you.

May victory be yours.

Devdutt.

Before you go to the battlefield,

I want you to promise me something.

What, mother?

In today's war,

along with the victory of the Shakyas,

I'd like to hear another piece of good news.

What good news, mother?

The news of Prince Siddharth's death!

Mother,

I have already made it clear to you

that I would kill Siddharth in a fair contest.

But if Siddharth finds himself ambushed by enemies...

I will not try to save him.

That's only possible if Siddharth is in the battlefield.

What do you mean?

Everyone is looking for him since morning.

No one knows where he is.

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Suddhodana!

Has Prince Siddharth returned?

Not yet.

I wonder what his plans are.

-Let me know when he returns. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Suddhodana!

Hail King Prasannajit.

King Suddhodana has left Kapilavastu with his army.

This means

the pride of the Shakyas is marching to be devoured by us.

Now there's nothing that can stop us from defeating the Shakyas.

Your Majesty, the Kaushal army

is much bigger than us.

Prasannajit seems to have thrown in everything he has in this war.

You are right.

Let us move.

Have all the Shakya kings assembled with their armies?

Most of them are here.

The rest will be here by evening.

Except King Dandapani's army.

King Dandapani?

I feel sad to say this.

Due to flooding in River Rohini, the bridge over it has collapsed.

Now my army cannot cross the river.

Don't worry. My soldiers are busy building a new bridge.

They will be here once the bridge is ready.

Keep moving.

My army won't reach here because it hasn't left in the first place.

Bandul,

why aren't the Shakyas trying to get hold of our horse?

Perhaps they're scared of our vast army.

Maybe they're melting iron to make swords.

Your Majesty,

our spies tell us

that King Suddhodana's elder son, Siddharth,

ran away as soon as the war was declared.

He's a sensible man.

That's why he ran away.

Very soon, the rest of the Shakyas too will run for their lives.

According to the battle plan drawn by Prince Siddharth,

we'll challenge Prasannajit tomorrow morning

to fight us in the narrow valley.

You better start preparing.

Instruct everyone to take their designated places.

Any news of Prince Siddharth?

My apologies, but there has been no news of the prince.

Your Majesty, despite his absence,

the Prince is still with us.

After all, we're using his battle plan.

Can this night be any less ominous?

I wonder what's happening on the battlefield.

Praja, get hold of yourself.

Amita, we're yet to know

the whereabouts of Siddharth.

I wonder what got into him that he left without telling anyone.

His Majesty was so happy with him.

Your Highness.

Laushika.

Any news of the prince?

No.

You could've lied to me and said yes.

How could I have said that?

The news that I am in possession of...

is terrible!

What is it?

-Laushika, tell me. -Last night...

What happened last night?

Last night, the prince witnessed death for the first time.

That's true.

Channa told me that

Baldev, the messenger of Kaushal,

breathed his last in the prince's lap.

After that,

the prince kept saying...

I'll stop the war!

I'll stop the war!

Saying thus, he fled the scene.

Dear me! Everything is ruined.

Our years of hard work has turned to dust.

You have no idea, Amita,

but we've been worried to death

about Siddharth witnessing death.

We did everything we could to keep death at bay from him.

Dear me!

His Majesty will feel so bad if he hears about this.

Will you please keep quiet, Mangala?

Everything will be fine.

You need to keep your courage.

Siddharth will just be fine.

What happened?

Your Majesty, look over there!

The Shakya army has entered the mountains under the cover of fog.

Where is the horse?

-They managed to get hold of it. -What?

They got our horse and have thus challenged us.

We won't get another opportunity to wage a war.

Get ready!

We'll use the fog to chase them.

No mountain can stop us.

Let's move!

Brilliant!

Hail Prince Devdutt!

Hail Prince Devdutt!

Hail Prince Devdutt!

Hail Prince Devdutt!

Worship Lord Rama, the scion of Raghu

Worship Lord Rama, the groom of Sita

Worship Lord Rama, the scion of Raghu Worship Lord Rama, the groom of Sita

Worship Lord Rama...

Please treat this as holy offering and eat it.

You and mother haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

And what about you?

Have you eaten anything?

You're hungry, but you are insisting I should eat?

I can understand your feelings, Gopa.

But you know me, don't you?

Till I see my husband and my son,

I won't eat anything.

I don't want anything to distract me

from praying for my husband's safety.

Your Majesty.

I'm Bandul, the commander of the Kaushal army.

I suggest you should

return the horse of the Ashwamedh fire ritual

and accept the dominance of Kaushal

to maintain peace in Kapilavastu.

-Else... -Else get ready for a war.

We are not here to exhibit our weapons, Commander Bandul.

We're the Shakyas. Don't take us for a herd of sheep

who can be herded if you make noise.

Sheep can't match elephants.

Forget about sheep.

Even a tiny ant can make an elephant go crazy should it enter his ears.

Get ready for war, commander Bandul,

else the Ashwamedh fire ritual will remain only as a daydream.

What was that?

I must stop this war.
