Detailed explanation-1: -To prevent his son and heir apparent from turning to religious life, Prince Siddhārtha’s father and rāja of the Śākya (Pali: Sakya) clan Śuddhodana (Pali: Suddhodana) did not allow him to see death or suffering, and distracted him with luxury to prevent him from worrying and becoming interested in the religious life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Siddhartha wanted to find out about why people suffer and how it might be possible to end this suffering. He decided that he would leave the palace and his family behind to go into the world to try to find some answers. He gave up all his possessions and expensive clothes to try to understand more about suffering.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, his first venture out of the palace affected him deeply and made him realize the sufferings of all, and compelled him to begin his spiritual journey as a wandering ascetic, which eventually led to his enlightenment. The spiritual feeling of urgency experienced by Siddhārtha Gautama is referred to as saṃvega.
