The image of autumn clouds is constant in Sanskrit poetry, and here it is taken exactly.
After the rains the sky is full of clouds, but there is no more rain in them. They are vast, they cover the sky — and the first wind scatters them, for they have nothing to hold by.
So the mind: enormous in appearance, empty in substance.
The word kalpaka means “creative, ordering”, and it is applied to the wind. The wind here is no destroyer but an orderer: it does not spoil the sky, it opens it.
Note too chinna-abhra — “the riven bank”: the clouds are already torn, the work is half done. This refers to one who has passed through the analysis of the preceding verses: his mind is no longer solid.
And the last word: antaḥ, “within”. The sky in question is that very citta-ākāśa of 4.57.
