The content tells about the renunciation of Prince Siddhartha. When Prince Siddhartha was 29 years old, one day he was going to the royal garden. On the way, he saw four signs including an old man, a sick man, a dead man, and a monk. Siddhartha felt so sad and finally decided to leave his kingdom and wordly life for ascetichood. Before leaving the castle, Siddhartha went quietly to see Rahula his newborn son and his wife, Yasodhara who were sleeping. It was midnight, and the prince was on his white horse Kanthaka with Channa, his faithful servant, holding on to its tail. He rode to the bank of the river Anoma and dismounted from his horse. The prince took his sword and cut his long hair, donned simple clothes, took a begging bowl and asked Channa to go back with Kanthaka.
