Buddha (Buddhaa - Rajaon ka Raja)

Your Highness! What's the matter, Your Highness?

I'll give you the medicine immediately!

She didn't take the medicine.

The news of your miscarriage

has left me in shock.

No questions will be raised now, Mangala.

Now, I'll pay all my attention

to only one child.

Only one child will get it.

Everything will be auspicious.

Queen Mangala, the other day, you casually said

that Her Highness wouldn't pay attention to Prince Siddharth anymore.

Since that day, she had been saying

that you made her realize the truth.

The physician gave her some herbs, but she didn't have them.

She decided that very moment

that Her Highness won't have a baby

until Prince Siddharth completes his education.

Such a great sacrifice!

I didn't want Siddharth to become an ascetic.

I did everything in my power to shield him from grief.

I didn't even think

how I will be portrayed in the history of Shakya dynasty.

But your sacrifice is greater than...

all my efforts put together.

Your Majesty.

I forced people to evacuate the city because I love my son.

But you...

But you aborted your unborn child for the sake of Siddharth.

You proved that blood relations aren't more important

than the relations forged with love.

You will set an example

of motherly love for the generations to come.

I salute the great decision...

that you've made.

My king.

Now I have no doubts that Prince Siddharth will be an emperor.

I have no doubts whatsoever.

-Laushika. -Yes, Your Majesty?

Inform King Amitodana

that I want to meet all the elderly people now.

All right.

Sage Kaundinya,

how's the Shakya princes' training coming along?

It's going very well, Your Majesty.

Prince Siddharth has memorized each verse in the Vedas

with its meanings.

Extraordinary!

Prince Siddharth keeps us on our toes by asking

some tough questions on the Vedas .

Truth can be apparent as well as hidden!

I did not understand that. How can truth be in both forms?

Can you answer that question, Siddharth?

Brother, when truth is apparent,

you have evidence to prove its authenticity.

For example, after the rains,

the water level of the river rises.

But the example of hidden truth

is that the water level rises

even when it doesn't rain.

How is that even possible?

It rains in the mountains

and the water flows to the river.

So the water level of the river rises.

If we can't prove a fact, it is hidden truth.

Your Majesty, he is very good at horse riding too.

Befriend your horse.

Try to understand its gestures.

Try to ride a horse without getting it tired.

He is excellent with words.

He has extraordinary knowledge of music.

He's well-versed in dance and expressions.

-Excellent. -The crown prince's eyes are

more expressive than his words.

What about his training in weapons?

How efficient is he in warfare?

What's the matter?

Your Majesty,

the crown prince doesn't like weapons.

He doesn't like weapons!

A warrior doesn't like weapons!

It doesn't mean that the crown prince doesn't know how to use them.

But he doesn't like to use weapons.

Yes, Your Majesty.

That is the only thing he lacks.

Don't blame the crown prince. It's all your fault, sire.

I ordered you to turn the crown prince into a warrior,

so that all warriors in the land of Aryans bow down to him.

We will try our best, Your Majesty.

It takes time to fashion a chunk of iron into a sword.

We have to be patient.

How did the fire start?

Sire, we were building a shack

but Devdutt set fire to it.

Yes, sire. Channa was inside the shack.

Devdutt!

Devdutt!

Did you do that?

-Yes. -Why?

I wanted to save you from committing a sin.

Channa helped you to build the shack and he is untouchable.

Is that why you set fire to the shack?

Yes, sire.

How could I let you live in a shack built by an untouchable?

Devdutt.

I'm glad you are so devoted to me.

Henceforth, I grant you a right.

You will carry my excrement.

Sire, what are you saying?

Devdutt, is this what I taught you?

Channa is a charioteer's son. He is an untouchable.

Your caste is decided by your deeds, not by your birth.

Sage Kaundinya

You are talking against Brahmins.

I am following the moral ethics.

Neither is the Brahmin the best, nor is the warrior clan.

Neither is it the traders, nor the untouchables.

All of them are different parts of the same creation.

The Brahmins were born out of Lord Brahma's head.

The warrior clan was born out of His shoulders.

The traders were from his stomach and the untouchables from His feet.

How can you compare your head with your feet?

Can you walk without your feet?

Think about it. If the untouchables stop cleaning our waste,

will the kingdom still be clean?

All the Brahmins and the warriors will fall ill.

Devdutt, before you claim that you belong to the warrior clan,

think about the malice in your heart.

Sage Ashwapal, I beg your pardon.

If the teachers argue before a student, they tend to take sides.

They quit respecting their gurus.

Where is Siddharth?

Sire, I saw him going that way.

Devdutt, you burnt that shack.

So you will rebuild it.

Now, I will take sides, Sage Kaundinya.

If I don't make Devdutt more efficient than Siddharth,

then I will eat my words.

Om!

Om!

Siddharth.

Why did you come here?

I remember what you taught me, sire.

Anger is like fire and meditation is like water.

Anger destroys everything

but meditation makes you more decent.

Had I stayed there,

I would've gotten angry with brother.

So I came here.

You are right.

Today, I want to meditate with you.

Om!

Om!

He remembers all the scriptures

He was excellent in meditation

This was the union of The drop and the ocean

The nature's assets increased manifolds

Birds and fishes became safe

The nature's beauty was enhanced

So was the quality of life

So did the quality of life

The horse's speed and the human mind

United to create a great warfare

Once they learnt the warfare

They learnt the essence of joys, Sorrows, victory and defeat

Once the education was complete

Their knowledge bank was developed

Gradually, the seeds turned into trees

Which enhanced the beauty of the garden

They enhanced the beauty of the garden

Devdaha, ten years later

What are these?

A jungle.

If you sow them, the entire Devdaha shall bloom with flowers.

Look, Siddharth! The seeds you gave me

have turned into a garden.

I am coming

to witness the contest among the Kapilavastu princes.

What are you thinking about?

Why are your hands shaking?

Yes, Your Majesty. Right now, my heart

is beating very fast.

Everyone is curious, my queen.

I am not curious.

I am scared.

You are scared! Why?

Because this test is not just for Siddharth,

but for me as well.

Not just for you,

this test is for me, for the teachers

and for the entire Shakya clan.

This day will be a testimony for both,

Kapilavastu's fate

and Sage Asita's prophecy.

If Siddharth fails to prove himself as a warrior prince today,

I will never be able to forgive myself, Your Majesty.

Don't worry.

If you pray with true devotion, you get rewarded for sure.

Just think that we had sent a chunk of iron

to the hermitage.
