From the raag introduction in Gurmat Sangeet Sagar, Part 1, page 81, by Principal Dyal Singh. Commas are the book's own groupings. A dash under a swara is komal, a dot under it mandra (lower octave), a dot over it taar (upper octave), a stroke over Ma teevra.

Practising Raag Asavari
Sing the aroh and avroh slowly over the tanpura, then in palta form: the studio's palta builder takes a few swaras and builds the whole aroh and avroh using only the swaras Raag Asavari takes, each way, as the book prints them. Start at ek gun (one swara a matra) and move to do gun and chaugun as it settles.
