उत्तर
Gautama Buddha was the son of Sakya King, Suddhodona of Kapilvastu. He was born in 563 BC at Lumbini. He was married to the princess, Yashodhara. But he was deeply moved by seeing the agony and sorrow of old age and sickness and decided to renounce the home and worldly pleasures. After studying under renowned teachers of Rajgriha, he went to Gaya and practiced severe penance, and at the age of thirty-five Gautama attained enlightenment.
