Shiva Swarodaya

The Title translates to "The Dawn of the Breath of Shiva," an ancient tantric text exploring how the flow of breath through the nostrils affects one's life and destiny.

By the power of the breath, one travels to other lands; by the power of the breath, one takes food. By the power of the breath, one should perform the passing of urine and stool. || 24 ||

It is only through the strength of the breath Swar-balaThe specific vital energy or "strength" associated with the dominant nostril that travel to different countries is successful, and by the strength of the breath, one should eat. Similarly, the evacuation of waste and urination should be governed by the strength of the breath. || 24 ||

All the Scriptures, Puranas, Smritis, and Vedangas—O beautiful-faced one! There is no truth higher than the knowledge of the breath. || 25 ||

O fair-faced one! original: "Varanane," a poetic address to the Goddess Parvati All the various scriptures, the ancient histories Puranas, the traditional laws Smritis, and the limbs of the Vedas Vedangas are not superior to the knowledge of the breath. There is no higher essence or truth than this. || 25 ||

Names, forms, and all such things are false and a total delusion; the foolish are deluded by ignorance as long as the true Essence is not known. || 26 ||

As long as the knowledge of the true Essence Tattva is not realized, all names and forms remain a false delusion. The foolish remain caught in this worldly attachment only until they understand this fundamental principle. || 26 ||

This science of the "Rising Breath" is the best among all excellent sciences; it is like the flame of a lamp for the purpose of illuminating the vessel of the Soul. || 27 ||

This scripture of Swarodaya is the most excellent among all great sciences. It acts like the bud of a glowing lamp original: "Pradip-kalika" to bring light to the "vessel of the self" The body is often compared to a clay pot or vessel containing the soul. || 27 ||

This should not be revealed to just anyone merely because they ask a question; rather, this should be known by oneself, for oneself, within one's own soul. || 28 ||

This knowledge of the breath should not be given away to just any person who asks a question. Instead, one must realize this truth personally, through one's own intellect, within one's own body and soul. || 28 ||

Neither the lunar day, nor the constellation, nor the day of the week, nor the planetary deities; neither the astrological "Visti" nor "Vyatipata," nor "Vaidhriti," and so on... || 29 ||
The text here begins to list astrological factors that are rendered irrelevant by the mastery of the breath.
