extent,

Rajaji"s
In kurals 487 and 488, the poet"s advice is to be patient and bide your time till the right opportunity occurs. And when it does, it must be seized and exploited with alacrity. It is in such a context, that the present comparison with the stork should be understood and appreciated.
It takes its position and appears to wait in a disinterested fashion for the suitable prey, and when it spots one, it does not hesitate. It pounces on it with swift and sure aim.
The following relevant passage from Vakkundam is familiar to most of us.
“Oadu
meen
oada
urumeen
varumalavum
vaadiyirukkumaam
