When the Prince increased the age to 16 years, the King ordered to make three large and beautiful palace, a palace for the winter (Ramma), a palace for the summer (Suramma) and a palace for the rainy season (Subha). Then the king sent an invitation to the parents who have girls to send her daughter to a party, where the prince will choose a girl to be his wife. But the parents were ignored.
They said that the Prince did not understand the art and science of warfare, then how hewill be able to maintain and protect his wife. When it is notified to the Prince, the Prince please the King to immediately hold a contest, where the various science contested battle. In the contest, Prince competed against other princes who come from all over the country Sakya, even princes from other countries.
All games like riding a horse, tame a wild horse, using swords, and archery was won by Prince. Especially in the case of archery, Prince unrivaled. To spread the arc that used by the Prince of course they are not able to because the bow was large and heavy, so tobring it to where the game should be in the collaborative by four people. With a rousinga claim from the audience once, Prince declared the absolute winner of the contest.
In a large party which is then held and attended by no less than forty thousand people a beautiful girl, the choice of Prince fell to a girl named Yasodhara that there are family ties with Prince because he is the son of his uncle by the name of King Suppa buddha of Devadaha country and her aunt, Queen Amita (brother of King Suddhodana).
After the prince married to Princess Yasodhara Siddhatta, then the concern of King Suddhodana somewhat diminished because the King always remembered with aforecast of the hermit Asita that the prince someday become a Buddha. With this marriage, King expects the Prince would be bound to earthly things. Now we just keep the Prince do not see the four events of life, namely the elderly, the sick, the dead, and the ascetic saint.
Therefore, the King ordered the guards for the Prince taken not to look at these four things. If there are ladies who are sick, the ladies will be immediately removed. All ladies and escorts are young people young. Further more, the King ordered to make the high walls surrounding the palace and gardens with a solid doors strong, and guarded day and night by people trust the king.
Thus the Prince and Princess Yasodhara Siddhatta love mixing in three luxurious palace once and always surrounded by dancers and pretty ladies.
The king was satisfied with what has been done and hopes that someday prince to succeed him as king of the Sakya country.
