The only applicable reference i could find to the word "Karonsih" was that it is the name of a dance dedicated to these two lovers. Here is a video of that dance. There is a Dutch explanation that i can only understand part of, but i don't see any reference to peacocks. Perhaps our Dutch speakers can find some clues in it. That said, the movements and costume of the princess has some elements that could remind one of that bird.
