Oh my dear friend chataka bird, for a moment, please listen to my words with careful attention. There are many types of clouds appearing in the sky and all are not alike. Some clouds fill the earth with bountiful rains but some just remain in their place making futile roars. So please do not approach everyone you see and unravel your tale of woe

The chathaka is a mythological bird and it is believed that its throat is cut and hence can drink water through its upturned open beaks, from the raindrops that fall direct on earth straight from the cloud in the sky during rain.
So whenever it sights a cloud in the sky it starts making a pitiable cry as if begging for water from the cloud.
The poet advises the bird not to cry for drops of water to every cloud. Clouds are many and are dissimilar in character.
Some really pour as rain on the earth making it fertile but some other clouds just remain there in high skies and make
roaring announcements by way of thunder but never pouring rain to help the bird.
The poet's advice is also directed to people who, in their misery, try to approach every person of note with their tales of woe in the hope of redressal of their grievances. Some really good people respond positively and would give some help also. But others (like the grievance redressal forums in government offices or the loud mouthed politicians) just make reassuring promises that would never be kept.
