After the forecast of the sage Asita and Kaudinya, king isolated Siddhartha in the royal palace, providing him all the pleasures and facilities for his entertainment things. One day he went outside the castle walks and saw a sick man, old man and third a dead body. At last he met to a saint, a holy man and he felt that it was the source of free form preceding three pains of the world.
