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

Prince, what is going on?

A conspiracy.

A conspiracy?

What are you saying? Who is behind this?

Who are they?

They are our soldiers.

But right now, they look like strangers.

Baldev and Urmila have crossed the borders of Shakya

and have entered the kingdom of Kaushal.

Does that not make you happy?

Of course. But...

Do not worry about them.

They are unconscious.

In a few moments, they will be back at your service.

Uncle, do you not think

we should concentrate only upon one thing?

Instead of looking for foreign spies,

we should look for traitors within our kingdom.

Am I right?

Of course.

I will talk to your father about this.

Prince,

we must tell His Majesty

-that someone tried to kill you... -No, Channa.

There is no point in escalating matters.

Let uncle take this matter to His Majesty,

but I will not tell him.

All the killers were rendered useless.

Baldev managed to escape. Our plan failed.

Mangala, one thing is certain.

King Suddhodana will never appoint Devdutt as his heir.

We must take an overt action.

How?

There is a way.

Somehow we have to get King Dandapani's cooperation.

King Dandapani?

How can he help Devdutt in becoming the legal heir?

He can.

There are two ways to appoint Devdutt as an heir.

King Dandapani is the closest friend of King Mahakaushal.

We can reach to King Prasannajit with his help.

We will collude with him

and stage a coup in Kapilavastu.

What is the other way?

Yashodhara.

-Yashodhara? -That is right.

When I took Yashodhara to Devdaha,

I met a few Brahmins who had come to study her birth chart.

They made a prophecy that...

Congratulations to you, King Dandapani.

Princess Yashodhara's birth chart indicates

that she is destined to marry a king.

What if it does not come true?

Then her planetary influence will become him a king.

The man she marries will surely become a king.

It means... no matter what happens,

we have to get Devdutt married

to Yashodhara.

So these are Kapilavastu's brave soldiers

who were vanquished by the prince?

How did this happen?

You should rather ask this to our commander.

Please forgive me.

Prince Siddharth is not only a scholar,

but also a brave and skilled warrior.

Just like a true warrior should be.

Yes, Your Majesty.

He did not even use a weapon and yet he subdued them.

I am very elated to hear that.

Prince Siddharth has not only outclassed you but me as well.

Had he been here, I would have patted his back and hugged him.

Kanthak, our prince looks very quiet today.

Let us see if you can make him talk.

Prince, you should be happy today.

Why are you so sad?

Should I take Kanthak to pull the chariot?

Would you like to see the courtesans?

What will I do there?

Urmila has left and with her, her music has also gone.

Who will fill the void in my life?

What have you brought for me from Shravasti?

A dream.

What kind of a dream?

The dream of Siddharth's coronation.

I will have this crown studded with gems whose magnificent brilliance

will outshine King Prasannajit's crown.

You look very happy today.

Yes, my lady. I am very happy with the prince.

Your son has managed to defeat me finally.

How did he do that?

He saved Baldev all by himself.

He has proved that he is not only intelligent but a brave warrior as well.

Time has come when he should be given responsibilities

according to the Shakya traditions.

The sooner, the better.

Find an auspicious day for his coronation.

You're right.

I'll ask royal guru Vachaspati to do the needful.

We should rather ask him...

to find an auspicious moment for the wedding.

-For the wedding? -Yes, Your Majesty.

You should get the prince married first.

Let him enjoy his married life.

You can save politics for later.

And then...

you may crown him

and give him the throne.

Right now, do you not think that the prince might feel

burdened with managing the kingdom?

You know him very well.

He is very committed in whatever he does.

If he becomes a king, he won't concentrate on anything else.

He will forget about everything else.

We should be wary of one thing.

What if politics makes a recluse out of the prince?

Maybe you don't want to be a grandparent...

but Queen Prajapati definitely wants to be.

What are you trying to say?

It is very simple.

Spring is upon us and the prince has attained marriageable age.

It is the right time

to get the crown prince and the rest of the princes married.

Am I right?

Mangala is right.

The spring ceremony will be upon us soon.

Let's change this ceremony into festivities for the youth

where all the princes and princesses

of the Shakya clan will meet each other.

They will choose their life partners

and thereby complete a stage in their lives.

-Let there be weddings. -Right!

You can coronate Prince Siddharth any time.

The throne is not going anywhere.

By the way,

send an invitation to Amita.

Even Yashodhara has reached marriageable age.

You stole my words, Mangala!

Her suggestion deserves merit.

Right now, I have stolen your words, Queen Prajapati.

Soon, I will steal your happiness as well.

Let Yashodhara be here.

Your Highness!

I just heard a declaration in the royal court

that Prince Siddharth would be admitted into

the Shakya confederation as its member.

Is that true?

What else did you hear?

All the bachelor members of the Shakya royal family

will have a get-together.

A groom choosing ceremony will also be arranged for the princesses.

What makes you so happy?

I am happy because your wish from years

is going to be fulfilled soon.

Princess Yashodhara will be here.

We have sent an invitation to Queen Amita.

Laushika, you know

I like Yashodhara a lot.

I hope she likes Siddharth.

Now you have one more reason to celebrate.

Your wish has already been granted.

How is that possible?

I couldn't help notice Yashodhara's interest for the prince.

While she was leaving for Devdaha, she told me

that someday she would be back as a queen in Kapilavastu.

-And what does Siddharth think, Laushika? -He has questions, as usual.

He does not realize he has fallen in love with Yashodhara.

He is still looking for a definition of love.

He will have it soon.

You will have to bring them together.

The bell rang. That is a good sign.

Even God agrees with this match.

Kingdom of Koliya

-What do you mean? -They have also invited Yashodhara.

Mother, what makes you so happy?

Is it a wedding invitation?

You can say that.

It is from Kapilavastu.

They have arranged a youth festival, a sort of get-together.
