The Princes had learnt about war through the stories of the swans and the peacocks. Vishnu Sharma told them that even the greatest kings finally get tired of war. The swans had been defeated by the peacocks. King Jewel Plume had plundered the fort and taken away a lot of wealth from Karpuradweepa to his own kingdom. But both the kingdoms did not want a long and destructive war. They wanted to make peace. So, the prime ministers of both the kingdoms decided to consult each other and work out a peaceful settlement. Doordarshi, the vulture, and Chakravaka, the goose got together to create a peace. “How did that happen?” asked the Princes. So, Vishnu Sharma told them the story of the Peace drawn up by the swans and the peacocks, after the war was over.
