Tawney
O _châtak_, listen but a while, and to my speech give ear—
Not all alike the clouds that on the face of heaven appear,
Some fertilize the earth with showers, some fruitless thunders hurl:
This lesson learn—a suppliant speech is wasted on the churl.

रे रे चातक सावधानमनसा मित्र क्षणं श्रूयता
मम्भोदा बहवो हि सन्ति गगने सर्वेपि नैतादृशाः ।
केचिहृष्टिभिरार्द्रयन्ति वसुधां गर्जन्ति केचिदृथा
यं यं पश्यति तस्य तस्य पुरतो मा ब्रूहि दीनं वचः ॥ ५१ ॥

St. LI . - gara : = : ( commentary . ) It seems from this
that the commentator had before him the reading : " all
are not alike . " The reading at : may perhaps be interpreted
to mean such as deserve to be addressed the t * : which the
châtaka must be supposed to be uttering when this is spoken .
But this is rather far - fetched . - S'árdúlavikridita .
