In the beginning of the chapter it talks about the importance of wearing Rudraksha and how they should be worn. The 11th chapter (adhyay) is called 'Rudra Adhyay' and is considered the most important as per Shridhar Swami. It also has a 15th chapter but many are of the opinion that this was added later and not composed by Shridhar Swami. Mostly, it is based on BrahmottarKhanda from the Skanda Purana but some parts of it are from Linga Purana and Shiva Purana. It has 14 chapters (adhyaya) and 2453 couplets (ovis in Marathi). In 1935, this book was one of the Hindu Scriptures that was desecrated by some 1000 Dalit youths from the 'Untouchable Youth League' at the Sukene village in Niphad taluka of the Nasik district. It literally means 'The Nectar of Shiva's Play'. Shridhar Swami wrote it on the banks of the river Brahma Kamandalu in Baramati in the vicinity of the Kashi Vishveshwar temple. It was composed in 1718 AD (Hindu calendar 1640). Shivlilamrut is a devotional poem composed by the Marathi poet-saint Shridhar Swami Nazarekar
