It's a true story

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

I have a feeling that my years of hard work has paid off.

I felt the people of Kapilavastu rooting for the future emperor.

So be it.

It's a very auspicious day today.

Siddharth proved that he's a warrior after all.

I'm really glad to see Yashodhara

after ten years.

You're right.

I wonder how King Dandapani will treat her

once she returns Devdaha.

She came here without his permission.

Everything will be fine.

A father can never be too harsh to his daughter.

Why?

Because deep down, he knows

a daughter will have to leave home someday.

Devdutt, stop it!

What are you doing? Hold it!

-Devdutt, stop it! -What is he up to?

What's going on?

I'm punishing a defeated warrior.

It's my frantic effort to keep alive the dying warrior in me.

Don't give up as yet.

It wasn't the final contest of your life.

Siddharth won because it was his lucky day.

-But in future... -Father, it's all over now.

A huge procession will be arranged tomorrow.

I'll ride a horse like all other princes.

There will be only one person in the chariot.

Crown Prince Siddharth Gautam.

The entire town will reverberate with the tales of my defeat.

That will be all.

Don't give up, my son.

Your defeat is a stepping stone to your victory.

I wish your words could put me at ease.

I'm just not interested.

Maybe this will change your mind.

His Majesty wants you to have it.

You didn't attend the musical ceremony.

His Majesty came to me and said

that you must be disappointed.

He asked me to tell you

that winning and losing is a part of a contest.

And a defeated warrior still retains his importance.

Devdutt and Siddharth are akin to the two eyes of Kapilavastu.

Siddharth is his pride

and Devdutt is his honor.

You left me alone. What are you looking at now?

The gates of the royal palace.

Why should that attract your attention?

There will be a grand procession tomorrow.

I'll cross the gates of the royal palace for the first time.

What? Does it mean you've never gone

-outside the royal palace? -No.

So you know nothing about the world outside the palace.

My teachers have told me about it.

I also learnt it through the great scriptures

and through history lessons.

I've seen this beautiful world through my mind's eye.

But tomorrow, I'll see it for real.

The palace gates will be opened for the first time.

Tomorrow, I'll meet my subjects.

I'll come along.

A guest is akin to God.

Minister, I hope, the safety measures are in place.

Yes, Your Majesty, wherever Prince Siddharth goes,

he'll meet with nothing but fragrant flowers,

smiling faces and gaiety.

He will only see young people.

Nothing will make him sad.

Please appoint me as your body guard once you become a king.

They say that love doesn't come easy to the people of Kapilavastu.

But you seemed to have won them over.

We spotted a cheetah. Run for your lives.

Run for your lives.

-Run away... -Save me!

Prince, please save us!

Why are you making such a racket?

Your Majesty, a cheetah took away our children.

-When did that happen? -A while ago.

-It must not have gone far away. -Let's go.

You can't leave in the middle of the procession.

I can't wait here after hearing the news.

His Majesty won't be pleased with this.

Don't worry. Devdutt and I'll go with the crown prince.

-Please return to the royal palace. -Come on.

Do cheetahs come here often?

Not really. There was a huge fire

in the woods a few days ago. That's when they came here.

Look over there! Cheetah footprints!

The footprints are leading to the east. Let's go.

The cheetah can't drag its prey at a far distance.

He must be around.

Once I spot him,

I won't spare him.

No, Devdutt, you won't kill the cheetah.

We'll catch him alive.

Did you hear the baby crying?

It's coming from the bushes.

It's a miracle. The baby is still alive.

You're right, but we must stop his bleeding.

We must take him to the royal healer at once.

Yashodhara is right. Take the baby with you.

The cheetah will come back for his prey.

-I won't spare... -No.

You won't kill the cheetah.

You'll have to catch him alive.

Promise me.

Promise me.

All right. I won't kill it.

Right now, you should be worried about the baby.

Don't worry about the cheetah. Now go!

Summon the royal healer.

Siddharth.

You shouldn't have personally brought the baby here.

You could've asked the soldier to carry the baby.

The baby was wounded, so I got emotional, father.

People will start gossiping.

They want their ruler to be strong and brave.

They don't look for kindness.

First of all, you shouldn't have left the grand procession.

Since you did, you could've hunted the cheetah.

You shouldn't have brought the baby here.

Prince, being a future emperor,

you must pay attention to your image among people.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

The first aid used to stop the blood loss

was effective.

Who did it?

Yashodhara.

Thank God, the wounds are superficial.

He'll recover soon.

Your Majesty, our son saved a baby today.

He lost an opportunity to be hailed as a brave warrior.

We're fortunate to have a crown prince like you.

We're so fortunate.

We're so fortunate.

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

Hail the Crown Prince!

The royal palace is echoing as they hail your son.

An emperor must steer clear of compassion.

Fear is the key to power.

I know our perspective change with our age.

But I can never accept that fact

that my son will stop loving me.

Siddharth.

How much do you love your father?

As a son would love his father.

What can you do for him?

He just has to say it and I can lay down my life.

Devdutt, what is it?

The head of the man-eater

who attacked the baby.

How could you do this?

You had promised me

that you wouldn't kill the cheetah.

-Uncle... -We tried our best, Siddharth.

But he was trying to run away.

We killed him thanks to Devdutt's brave effort.

Couldn't you catch him alive?

What would we achieve by that?

We could've dropped him back deep in the jungle.

So that the man-eater would kill again.

They aren't born man-eaters.

We compel them to be.

He killed a baby.

No. The baby is safe now.

What if he had died?

You killed an animal because you suspected him!

This is what you call hunting, Siddharth.

What if I suspect

that you might slay me for the throne?
