“So you see, Sir, it is not sensible to be impatient and act in a hurry,” advised the old vulture, “One should not do things when one is highly emotional or angry, drunk, full of pride or greed or be too attached to anything. Then one will make mistakes.” “So what do you think we should do now?” asked the King. “It is better to make peace with King Silver Plume, Sir,” advised the wise old vulture again, “What we have heard from Meghavarna and others has convinced me that the Swan King and his minister are wise and noble. And it is only a conceited fool who will not follow such a path of peace with them.” King Jewel Plume was worried and fed up, so he agreed to follow Doordarshi’s advice. Having got the King’s consent, Doordarshi, the vulture began preparations for peace.
