On the fifth day after the Prince's birth, King Suddhodana named the baby Siddhattha, meaning "wish fulfilled." Seven brahmans attending the ceremony predicted that if the Prince stayed in the world, he would become a universal monarch, but that, if he left the household life, he would become a Buddha. The eighth brahman, Kondañña, declared that the Prince would definitely retire from the world and become an Enlightened One. Seven days after the birth, Queen Mahamaya died.
