The chataka bird requests the clouds to provide rain drops , but the clouds by being very liberal inundate the entire earth with water.
रे रे चातक, सावधान मनसा, मित्र क्षणम् श्रूयताम्
अंबोदा: बहवो वसन्ति गगने, सर्वेपि नैतदृशा: I
केचिद् वृष्टिभिरार्द्रयन्ति धरणीम् गर्जन्ति केचिद् वृथा
यं यं पश्यसि तस्य तस्य पुरतो मा ब्रूहि दीनम् वच: II
केचिद् वृष्टिभिरार्द्रयन्ति धरणीम् गर्जन्ति केचिद् वृथा
यं यं पश्यसि तस्य तस्य पुरतो मा ब्रूहि दीनम् वच: II
Re re chataka saavadhana manasaa mitra kshanam shruyataam

Oh! My friend chataka ! listen carefully to me
for a moment. There is many a cloud in the sky, but not all are alike. Some
will rain and drench the earth, and some will only give forth peals of thunder. Thus, do not express your
woes to every one whom you happen to see. ( Niti satakam )
गर्जसि मेघ न यच्छसि तोयं चातकपक्षी व्याकुलितोऽहम् ।
दैवादिह यदि दक्षिणवातः क्व त्वं क्वाहं क्व च जलपातः ॥
O cloud,
you roar, but do not give water. I, the chataka bird am thirsty. If fatefully
the southern winds blow here, where shall you be , where shall I be and where
shall it rain ?
एक एव खगो मानि चिरं जीवतु चातकः I
म्रियते वा पिपासायां याचते वा पुरन्दरं II
Oh!
Chataka bird ! we wish you a long life. You are the only bird who is so proud
and high minded that you implore Indra, the rain god, to provide you with water
for quenching your thirst and in absence there of would rather prefer to die.
इन्दुं निन्दति चक्रवाक
युगलं भासां निधिं कौशिकः
स्वादु क्षीरमरोचकी सुकृतिनां पापी जडः
पण्डितं I
त्यक्तं सर्वजनैः खलः कटु वचाग्राम्यः पुमान
नागरं
कः पैतामहगोलकेSत्र निकिलैः संमानितो वर्तते
II
The chakravaka birds despise the moon, the owls hate the sun, Sweet milk
is disliked by a drunkard, good people are hated by the sinners, the fools nurture ill-will towards scholars . The rogues hate any one and every one, the villagers are critical
of the men from the cities. Is there anything in the creation that is not criticized by some one or the other?
