Suddhodana consents, but as soon as his son has left his presence he calls together a council of his ministers and issues the severest orders to the governor of the city that all trace of what is sad and ugly in life and which might trouble the young prince shall be removed from the roads he is to pass through. The Governor takes immediate steps to get the streets in order. 17th PICTURE. Siddhattha is seen in a golden chariot between two ranks of cheering populace.
