Gautama Siddhartha was a prince who gave up all worldly pleasures to seek answers to eternal problems that plague man. After about six years in search of truth, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. According to legend, he left his palace secretly, leaving behind his wife and child. However, the conflict that must have gone on in the young princes mind is brought out as a dialogue between him and his wife, Yashodhara. This verse-play brings forth the eternal questions of love, life and the quest for meaning of existence.
