His mother was Maya, a princess of the neighbouring clan of the Koliyas. The site of his nativity is marked by the celebrated Rummindei Pillar of Asoka. As Maya died in child-birth, Siddhartha was brought up by his aunt and step- mother, Prajapati Gautami. His other relatives were Suddhodhana (father), Yasodhara (wife), Rahula (son) and Devadatta (cousin). The sight of an old man, a sick man, a dead body and an ascetic intensified Siddhartha’s deep hatred for the world and made him realise the hollowness of worldly pleasures. After the birth of his son, he left home at the age of twenty nine in search of the Truth. This departure is known as the ‘Great Renunciation’ (mahabhinishkramana).
