As co-queen of Kapilavastu, Pajapati is irrepressible, though her sister and fellow queen, Maya, often tries to gently hold her in check. When Maya tragically passes away shortly after giving birth to Siddhartha, Pajapati is left inconsolable. Yet, she steps forward to raise Siddhartha with fierce devotion—not only for the sake of her beloved sister, but also to shield him from a heavy prophecy warning that if he ever encounters suffering or death, he will abandon the kingdom forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eDespite every layer of protection and palace restriction, Siddhartha eventually confronts reality and sets off on the path to becoming the Buddha.
