Channa could not believe that the Prince would not be returning to the palace with him. He stood there confused, tears beginning to fill his eyes. The Prince understood his grief and spoke to him again very softly. “My faithful Channa, do not cry. Sooner or later we all have to say goodbye. Here, take these royal jewels I am wearing; I shall not need them anymore. Return to the palace and tell my father that I have not left in anger. It is not that I do not love my family anymore. Rather, it is because I love them all so much that I must leave them for now. If I fail, then it really makes little difference that I am leaving this day. Sooner or later death would pull us apart anyway. Go now, and let me begin my search.”

Channa realized that there was no way he could change the Prince’s mind. He took Kantaka’s reins from the Prince and slowly led the horse away. Many times both the charioteer and Kantaka looked back at the Prince with tears in their eyes. Eventually they reached Kapilavastu where Channa had the sad duty of telling everyone that Siddhartha had left the royal life forever.
