In this chapter of the Panchatantra, Victor tells the story of a weaver who falls in love with a princess, who is way out of his league. To win her over, he dresses up as Vishnu, and with the help of his friend\'s flying Garuda machine, he is able to convince the princess that he really is Vishnu. This goes great until the king finds out about her being in love. The king thinks that Vishnu is on his side and proceeds to anger the kingdom that he should be paying tribute to. This is all done to show Cheek that sometimes even the Gods can be caught off guard when plans are well laid out.
