Siddhartha was born in Kapilvastu. His father was king Suddhodhana and his mother was queen Mahamaya.
Hindi Anuvad: Siddharth ka janm Kapilvastu mein hua tha. Unke pita raja Shuddhodhana aur mata rani Mahamaya thin.

He lived in a beautiful palace but he was not happy there. He went to the garden everyday and sat there for hours.
Hindi Anuvad: Ve ek sundar mahal mein rahte the, lekin wahan khush nahin the. Ve pratidin bagiche mein jaate the aur wahan ghanton baithte the.

He saw the beautiful trees, flowers, birds and butterflies there, and enjoyed the songs of the birds.
Hindi Anuvad: Ve wahan sundar ped, phool, pakshi aur titliyan dekhte the tatha pakshiyon ke madhur geeton ka anand lete the.

At the age of sixteen he completed his education, and married princess Yashodhara.
Hindi Anuvad: Solah varsh ki aayu mein unhone apni shiksha poori ki aur rajkumari Yashodhara se vivaah kiya.

He was very kind to birds, insects, animals and human beings and loved them all.
Hindi Anuvad: Ve pakshiyon, keedon, janwaron aur manushyon ke prati bahut dayalu the aur un sabhi se prem karte the.

Devadatta was Siddhartha's cousin. But he was very proud and cruel. He was not kind to the birds and animals.
Hindi Anuvad: Devadatta Siddharth ke chachere bhai the. Lekin ve bahut ghamandi aur krur the. Ve pakshiyon aur janwaron ke prati dayalu nahin the.

One day Siddhartha was walking in the garden with his cousin Devadatta, who had brought his bow and arrows with him.
Hindi Anuvad: Ek din Siddharth apne chachere bhai Devadatta ke saath bagiche mein ghoom rahe the. Devadatta apne saath teer-kamaan laye the.

Suddenly, Devadatta saw a swan flying and shot at it. His arrow brought the swan down.
Hindi Anuvad: Achanak Devadatta ne ek hans ko udte hue dekha aur us par teer chala diya. Teer lagne se hans neeche gir gaya.

The swan fell onto the ground. Siddhartha lifted it and took it on his lap.
Hindi Anuvad: Hans zameen par gir gaya. Siddharth ne use uthaya aur apni god mein rakh liya.

He pulled the arrow out and washed the wound. He gave it water to drink.
Hindi Anuvad: Unhone teer nikala aur uske ghaav ko dhoya. Unhone use peene ke liye paani diya.

Devadatta came to Siddhartha with the bow and arrows. He saw the swan in Siddhartha's lap.
Hindi Anuvad: Devadatta teer-kamaan lekar Siddharth ke paas aaye. Unhone Siddharth ki god mein hans ko dekha.

Devadatta: Give that swan to me. I shot it. It is my swan.
Hindi Anuvad: Devadatta: Vah hans mujhe de do. Maine ise mara hai. Yah mera hans hai.

Siddhartha: Fie, fie! You shot this lovely bird. You are really cruel. You should be kind to birds and animals.
Hindi Anuvad: Siddharth: Chhi, chhi! Tumne is pyare pakshi ko teer maara. Tum vastav mein krur ho. Tumhen pakshiyon aur janwaron ke prati dayalu hona chahiye.

Devadatta: No, I am not cruel. I am brave. Give me my swan.
Hindi Anuvad: Devadatta: Nahin, main krur nahin hoon. Main bahadur hoon. Mera hans mujhe de do.

Siddhartha: I will not give you this bird. I saved it. It is my swan.
Hindi Anuvad: Siddharth: Main tumhen yah pakshi nahin doonga. Maine ise bachaya hai. Yah mera hans hai.

Devadatta: I am going to the king. He will decide.
Hindi Anuvad: Devadatta: Main raja ke paas ja raha hoon. Ve nirnay karenge.

Siddhartha also went to the king. The king listened to them and gave his judgement.
Hindi Anuvad: Siddharth bhi raja ke paas gaye. Raja ne dono ki baat suni aur apna nirnay diya.

King: Devadatta, it is not your bird as you shot it. It is Siddhartha's bird as he saved it.
Hindi Anuvad: Raja: Devadatta, yah tumhara pakshi nahin hai kyonki tumne is par teer chalaya tha. Yah Siddharth ka pakshi hai kyonki unhone ise bachaya hai.
