One of our system is running 3 oracle db instances. And as per prstat o/p the 
system is approximately using 78G of swap memory

but vmstat, swap -l shows approximately 115G free swap  out of total 123G 
configured swap (zfs o/p)

why there is difference in figures of swap in o/p of prstat and vmstat& swap -l
