- We find out that he gets his gold in a agreement with a faqir. The faqir fries and eats the king everyday in exchange he gets revived and given his gold to give out. This faqir lives in a hill where the king goes to every morning. Meanwhile, another king, King Bikramajit is generous to swans looking for food.
- Resolution
- When the swans leave King Bikramajit's kingdom, they sing and praise him. King Karan hears them and gets jealous because no one was praising him for giving out free gold to the poor. He captures the swans and wants them to praise him. One of the swans escape and tells King Bikramajit, who goes into disguise as one of King Karan's servants.
- King Bikramajit finds out how King Karan gets his gold and so one day he pretends he is King Karan and goes to the faqir's house to get eaten. He tasted so good the faqir gave him the gold and when King Karan comes the faqir says he already ate him and didn't recognize him because he did not have good sight. King Karan runs out of gold and starves.
- King Bikramajit tells the starving King Karan that if he releases the swans, he will give him all the gold he wants. King Karan quickly says yes and they exchange. The swans continue to praise King Bikramajit after they were released. King Karan realizes how generous King Bikramajit is because he was eaten in order to release the swans while he, himself, was eaten just to eat.
- Ok.
- If you release the swans I will give you all the gold you want.
