Complete question: Why was the king worried about the prince? What did he do to divert his mind to the life and pleasures of the palace?

Solution:

King Shuddhodana only had one son, Prince Siddhartha. As a result, the king, who adored him greatly, was quite delighted. He gave the Prince access to all of the palace's comforts and pleasures. However, a hermit once predicted that Siddhartha would become a great ruler or saint. He would choose a religious lifestyle in place of a worldly one. The monarch was very disturbed by this thinking. He was concerned every time he thought about the saint's prophecy. In order to keep the Prince's attention on the activities and pleasures of the palace, the king tried his best. The Prince should not have left the earth, the king wished. He desired to see him as a powerful monarch. So he planned to wed Yashodhara, the most stunning princess. The Prince had a desire to visit the city one day. The king gave his consent. He made the necessary preparations and instructed his charioteer Chana to accompany the Prince. He was also instructed to adorn the city. The Prince should not pass through any painful sights, and no sick or elderly people should be in his path. He took all of these steps to shield the Prince from the grief and pain of the world. But the king's efforts were all in vain. The Prince desired to go out again, this time completely unknown to the public. When he viewed those things, his opinion was altered. As a result, the king was powerless to stop fate.
