Prince Siddhartha, the son of king Suddhodhana lived in a pleasure full palace like an innocent child. He was passing the days of life with his beautiful wife yashodhara and young companions. He was out of worldly knowledge. He knew neither old age nor disease nor death nor pain nor want nor need in the palace because sorrows and pain were not allowed to enter the pleasure full palace. Seeing the misery of old, the sick and the people walking behind the dead man, prince Siddhartha cried, “it is enough, mine eyes have seen enough, at the end of his visit of the city of kapilvastu, prince Siddhartha saw an old man. Seeing the miseries of an old man prince Siddhartha felt boundless grief in his heart. The poor condition of an old man touched the soft heart of prince. In the night, he neither took food properly nor soundly sleep because the sight of an old man was teasing him very much.

Princes Siddhartha a kind hearted man saw an old man, lying in the dust, crying for help besides the bridge of the city.during the second visit of the city of kapilvastu, the poor condition of the sick man moved the heart of the since Siddhartha with pity. Prince Siddhartha saw that a large number of people were coming and going over the bridge but they have no time,to pay attention toward the man, lying in the dust, crying for help. In spite of the hearing the crying of the old man they all were unaffected with the misery of the sick man. The sight of the sick man gave not only discomfort but also uneasiness to the heart of prince Siddhartha.

At the end of second visit prince siddhatha saw probation of dead body. He asked channa what they are doing on the bank of river. On hearing the question from the tongue of prince Siddhartha channa replied that it was probation of a dead body. In his reply, like philosopher channa told him that death in the truth of life, nothing of the world is immortal. Death like python swallows every living creature. On hearing the reply, prince Siddhartha remarked, “veil is rent which blinded me”.
Since he had seen the three stages of human life .He suddenly called out, it is enough mine eyes have seen enough.
