This Episode: Pilgrims

Siddhartha and Vasudeva encounter pilgrims journeying to see the Buddha before his death. Among them is Kamala, who succumbs to a snake bite on the riverbank. Siddhartha, deeply affected by her passing, reflects on the transience of life and the unity of existence. Despite his grief, he finds solace in the arrival of his son and the lessons of the river, with Vasudeva guiding him towards acceptance and peace.
