As Prince Siddhartha Gautama came to the age of 28, renounced the kingdom and lived the life of a beggar. He sought and attained enlightenment in six years under a Pipal tree and became a Buddha, in Bodhgaya. After enlightenment he spoke this stanza:

"Through many births has passed the builder of the house of pain is gone and I am free to more births "
