"I am, why are you here?" "My lord you have supernatural powers" "Teach me to use them" "For what purpose?" "To triumph over he who calls himself Buddha" "He is my enemy" "And his religion is dangerous" "I need your power to crush both of them" "You intend to destroy him?"

"What's Kanala have to do with it?" "I feel terrible" "Well, tell me what it's all about" "He... yousee,he..." "What?" "He tried..." "Well, well?" "He forced his love on me" "Kanala?" "It was humiliating" "It's an outrage" "I feel so terrible" "That wretch" "Hutika, Hutika" "Arrest the prince" "What's that sir?" "I said find my miserable son and arrest him" "See that it's done immediately" "Sir" "Is it true?" "Is it?" "Would the prince do such..." "Princess, calm yourself" "Please tell me" "I'm going to marry him and I have a right to know" "Why would Tashekara..." "Please, you know the prince would never do such a thing" "The charge against him is false" "Then tell me, where is he?" "Hurry and take me to him" "It's too late for that now?" "What do you mean?" "This very morning" "They arrested him and sent him to Gonga" "Gonga?" "Isn't that where the slaves and common criminals are kept?" "That's not all of it" "You see, in that place they keep all the incurable lepers" "I cannot, even though it is your order" "I can't your highness" "As a subject, I couldn't do that to the prince" "What if I say I'll offer you anything you wish in return?" "What?" "What's the matter?" "You think I haven't noticed?" "The way you always look at me?" "Your highness what are you saying?" "I think you know what I mean" "I'm saying you can have..." "Whatever you'd like to have" "Your highness" "And in addition" "I'll see that you're made commander in chief" "I'll do it your highness" "Depart for Galga at once" "It's the king's order" "Do it at once" "Kanala!" "Kanala!" "This world is full of suffering" "But, when you turn from evil thoughts and embrace Buddhism" "Your sufferings will cease" "And happiness will replace it" "But how can we embrace Buddhism?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have" "It's alright describe the moon to me" "Is it bright?" "Yes" "I wish I could do something more" "If only I could give you my eyes" "I know that voice" "Chamberlain, where are the guards?" "Bring me the man who was singing" "Look up" "Aren't you... ?" "Kanala" "You have changed and your face has terrible scars" "But you look like my son" "You are my son you are, aren't you" "Yes" "Oh father" "Kanala" "Your eyes, what happened to them?" "Don't you know what happened?" "Your majesty, you ordered them to be burned out" "I did?" "Ridiculous" "You know I would never order any kind of punishment like that" "I've been worried since your disappearance" "Because I didn't have any news from you in a long time" "Then why?" "Why did everyone tell us that it was your order?" "Yashuka, was it you?" "No it wasn't, I didn't do it" "Then who was it?" "My poor husband" "Who would have any reason to do such a cruel thing" "He had such beautiful eyes" "Why would anyone want do something like that?" "I don't know, I didn't do it" "I know nothing about it" "You are the queen" "His mother" "Don't you feel sorry for what you've done to him?" "I did nothing at all" "You hear me?" "I didn't do it" "Now, confess your sins" "As his mother, as the queen" "If you have any conscience" "Then confess, and beg forgiveness" "Arrest the queen" "Yashukara, you will pay with your life" "Please wait" "What for?" "She is the one who robbed you of your sight" "Don't you hate her for what she did?" "It was because of what mother did" "That I was finally able to meet the Buddha" "And learn about his faith" "Prince Kanala" "Father, please forgive this woman" "All human beings make mistakes and we must learn to forgive them" "You see..." "I lost the sight of my eyes but I gained inner sight" "I am at peace now" "Mother, I thank you very much" "Kanala, my son" "Darling" "Your eyes!" "Kusha" "I can see your face again!" "Darling" "Kusha" "Kanala" "Father" "You are Kitika" "And you are Butika" "Is this retribution?" "Is this the destiny of all sinful human beings?" "Tell me, where are all those pilgrims going to?" "They're going to sit at Buddha's feet and listen to his teaching" "Every day people come from all over the country" "To hear him and gain wisdom from his words" "Do they feel some great reverence for him?" "What are you saying?" "The great Buddha is our savior" "Your saviour?" "Yes, and all the disciples are learning the Buddha's teachings" "They are studying so they can help to spread his truth" "There are already more than a thousand of them" "So many?" "Is he one too?" "Pardon me, but may I have some water?" "Please, it's hot and I'm very thirsty" "I wish I could help" "But I'm a person of humble birth" "Yes, but what difference does that make?" "Well, I was born a slave" "There are many things forbidden to us" "Like speaking to a holy man such as you" "That's wrong" "Listen to Buddha's words" "He says that all people are the same" "We are all equal, all friends" "You are very kind" "Now, give me some water" "Thank you" "I feel better now" "Thank you" "Oh there you are" "Nanda, you're very lucky" "What if Buddha should find out?" "What's the matter?" "You haven't been out for the past 3 days" "You know that all of us who study here" "Must feed ourselves with the offerings we receive in town" "If you don't go you'll starved to death" "Don't bother me, I don't care" "No" "Wait, Natalya" "You've got to listen to me" "You've got to give him up He's a holy man" "You've got to give him up" "No, I don't want to give him up" "Let me go, you must let me go" "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "You may have that which your heart desires" "What do you mean?" "Ananda" "I will see that the man will come to you" "Can you do that?" "I will see that he never ever leaves your side" "No, Natalya, don't You can't believe him" "Can you really do what you say you can?" "Can you really bring Ananda here?" "Ananda, what's the matter?" "Wait" "Ananda, where are you going?" "You came to me" "Ananda" "I'm so happy" "Oh Ananda" "Ananda, return" "Ananda?" "What is it?" "Where you going?" "Ananda" "Wait" "Ananda" "I love him" "I love him so much I can hardly bear it" "Why do you love him so?" "His shiny eyes, his perfect nose his sweet mouth" "Everything about him's beautiful" "I love him very much" "Natalya, that of which you speak is but superficial beauty" "Ananda possesses something far more beautiful" "More beautiful?" "What can it be?" "Tell me what it is?" "Embrace Buddhism" "And your inner eye will see it" "Can a slave girl like me become your disciple?" "Natalya" "We are all equals" "Just what kind of man is this Buddha?" "He's the kind of man" "Who denies the gods we've been worshipping for 1000 years" "He claims that the only real god is within ourselves" "That's blasphemy" "He says that he'll save mankind with Buddhism" "What does he mean by that?" "It's obvious" "He's so conceited, he believes he alone can save you" "He's mad" "You must all turn your backs on such dangerous teaching" "Return to your old religion and to the only true gods" "Hear me" "Reject this false imposter" "Trust me to uphold the faith" "The faith of our great gods" "For I am the living voice of those gods" "Come to me, believe in me" "Embrace my teachings if you desire worldy power and happiness" "Where were you all day?" "I was in town" "In town?"
