Jainism ke anusar, Swati Nakshatra aur uski boond ka prateek prachin Jain sahitya mein bhi milta hai. Is sambandh mein ek prasiddh kahani hai ki chatak pakshi (Pied Crested Cuckoo) sirf Swati Nakshatra ke samay girne wali boond ka hi paani peeta hai. Iska tatparya yeh hai ki va chatak pakshi anya samay ya anya jagah ka paani nahi peeta, balki vishesh samay par, Swati Nakshatra ke dauran girne wali varsha ki boond ka hi intezaar karta hai.

Jain darshan mein is prateek se yeh sandesh milta hai ki jaise chatak pakshi ek vishesh boond ka hi intezaar karta hai, waise hi sadhak bhi sahi gyaan (samayik aur sahi updesh) ki pratiksha karta hai aur anya gyaan ko nahi grahan karta. Yeh drishtant atma ki pavitrata aur sahi gyaan ki apeksha ko samjhaane ke liye diya jata hai.

Saaransh: Jain dharm ke anusaar, chatak pakshi (pied crested cuckoo) Swati Nakshatra ki boond ka hi intezaar karta hai aur usi ko peeta hai.
