Though the chatak bird is about to die of a parched throat, and around it there are 7 oceans, rivers and lakes overflowing with water, still it will not touch that water. Its throat is cracking with thirst, and still it will not drink that water. It looks up, mouth agape, for the rain to fall when the star Svati is in the ascendant. "To the chatak bird all waters are mere dryness beside Svati water". (Sri Ramakrishna)
@Luxin,
Why have only one imaginary super-being when 50,000 await you in Indian astrology?
The Jacobin
cuckoo (Clamator jacobinus), pied
cuckoo or the pied crested
cuckoo, is a member of the
cuckoo order of birds that is found in Africa and Asia. It is partially migratory and in India, it has been considered a harbinger of the monsoon rains due to the timing of its arrival. It has been associated with a bird in Indian mythology and poetry, known as the chataka (Sanskrit: चातक) represented as a bird with a beak on its head that waits for rains to quench its thirst.
