However, I've found out that in a Hindu context, [[Svati]] usually refers to either one of the wives of the Moon or the [[nakshatra]] associated with [[Arcturus]], so I believe the "my friends call me Swati" part of the theme song may have just been one of the artistic liberties taken by the producers. (along with [[Kartikeya]] being Ganesha's big brother, [[Dvaraka]] being held up by balloons, and [[Ravana]] being 3 years old in Krishna's time, to name a few other examples) – [[User:MrPersonHumanGuy|MrPersonHumanGuy]] ([[User talk:MrPersonHumanGuy|talk]]) 12:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
