Shiva Swarodaya is a scripture on the Swar Vigyan or the science of breathing. This text is in the form of a dialogue or a conversation between Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. This scripture has 395 Shlokas.
In the first and the second Shlok goddess Parvati says -
"Dev-dev Mahadeva kripaakritvaa mamopari.
Sarva siddhikaram gyaanam kathayasva mam prabho.
Katham braahmaandamutpannam, katham vaa parivaratate.
Katham vileeyate, dev vad brahmaand nirnayah."
Goddess Parvati says to Lord Shiva, " O Mahaadev kindly disclose or tell me the knowledge which gives or reveals all the Siddhis (accomplishments)".
Then she asks the following questions to Lord Shiva - 
"How was this universe  created?"
"How do changes take place in this universe ?"
"How does the final destruction of this universe take place?"

Rasaree aavat jaat te, sil par parat nisaan.

Tete paanv pasaariye, jetee laambi sour.

========================================================================
(3) Bhale-Bure sab ek se, jo lo bolat naahin.

jaan parantu hai kaak-pik, ritu basant kaa mahin.

Meaning In Hindi - Jab tak koi vyakti boltaa nahin hai, tab tak uske bhale yaa bure hone kaa pataa nahin chalta hai. Jab vah bolta hai tab gyat hota hai ki vah bhalaa hai yaa bura hai.

Yahee baat vyakti ke vyavhaar aur aacharan par bhee laagu hoti hai.
=======================================================================

Jaise nirmal aarsee, bhalee-buree kahee det.
Meaning in Hindi - Jis prakaar sawachh  darpan kisee vyaktee kee vastvik chavi ko bataa detaa hai. Usee prakaar kisee vyakti ke man men dusre vyakti ke prati sneh kaa bhaav hai ya dwesh kaa bhaav hai, yeh baat uske netron ko dekh kar hee gyat kee ja saktee hai.
========================================================================
(7) Ati hath mat kar, hath badhe, baat na  karihai koy.
Jyon-jyon bheeje kaamri, tyon-tyon bharee hoy.
Meaning in Hindi - Jis prakar kambal ke bheegte rahne se vah bharee hotaa jaataa hai, usee prakaar kisee vyakti ke hath yaa jid karne se, uskaa jiddeepan badhtaa jaataa hai tatha ek samay aisa aataa hai ki log uske hathee sawbhav ke kaaran usase baat karnaa bhee pasand  nahin karte hain .
