After this incident and realizing the true nature of life after observing the four sights, Siddhartha left the palace on his horse Katakana, accompanied only by Shanna. He sent Shanna back with his possessions and began an ascetic life, at the end of which he attained enlightenment as Gautama Buddha.
The caste system is a system that divides Hindus into four main categories - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Sorta like a pyramid of food groups in health. These castes were based on peoples daily jobs/occupations. Outside of the caste system there were the untouchables or otherwise known as the "the Dalits".
Hope I could help! :)
