How the label is assigned

Swati is the 15th of 27 equal nakshatras. Its interval begins at 186°40′ and ends just before 200°00′ of the sidereal zodiac. A planet or ascendant in that interval receives this label.

Each nakshatra is 13°20′ wide and contains four padas of 3°20′. The pada is calculated from the same sidereal longitude. No language model is needed to assign it.

How to use this reference

The traditional lord sequence gives Rahu for Swati. This is a classification within the chosen system, not a physical property of the sky.

Compare exact degrees and ayanamsa settings before concluding that a different tool is wrong. A position very close to a boundary can receive a neighboring label under a different method.
