न कोकिलानामिव मञ्जु कूजितं Na kokilaanaamiva manju koojitam
न लब्धलास्यानि गतानि हंसवत् I Na labdalaasyaani gataani hamsavat I
न बहिर्णानामिव चित्र पक्षता Na bahirnaanaamiva chitra pakshataa
गुनस्तथाप्यस्ति बके बकव्रतं II Gunastathapyasti bake bakavrataa II
Sweet cooing like cuckoo, graceful gait like a swan, or the colourful feathers like a peacock - it is true a crane doesn't possess these- but it has patience and concentration.
கொக்கொக்க கூம்பும் பருவத்து மற்றதன்
குத்தொக்க சீர்த்த இடத்து. Kural-490
As heron stands with folded wing, so wait in waiting hour;
As heron snaps its prey, when fortune smiles, put forth your power.

बकास्तत्र न बध्यन्ते मौनं सर्वार्थसाधनम् ॥ –पञ्चतन्त्रम्
The birds like parrots and cuckoos get trapped by fault of their
mouths (sweet voice). Cranes do not get trapped because of their silence. Therefore,
Silence is an instrument for obtaining all objects. [Applies to certain
contexts where one needs to be silent, in things related to secrecy and
diplomacy.]
नाद्रव्ये निहिता काचित् क्रिया फलवती भवेत् ।
न व्यापारशतेनापि शुकवत् पाठ्यते बकः ॥
Naa dravye nihitaa kaachit kriyaa phalavatee bhavet I Na vyaapaara satenaapi shukavat paatyate bakah II
Efforts put on useless things or bad pupil will not bear fruits. Hundreds of methods to teach a heron to speak like a parrot will be a futile exercise.
