Shaivism / Vedic
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् | उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात् ||
Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti-vardhanam | Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat ||
"A healing prayer to Shiva for release from fear and death"
Full Translation
We worship the three-eyed one (Shiva), who is fragrant and who nourishes all beings. As the ripe cucumber is freed from its vine, may we be freed from death for the sake of immortality — not from liberation itself.
