The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (“great death-conquering mantra”)
also called the Tryambakam Mantra
tryambakam yajāmahe
sugandhim puṣṭi-vardhanam
urvārukam iva bandhanān
mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt
We Meditate on the Three-eyed reality
which nourishes and increases the sweet fullness of life.
Like a ripened cucumber falls from its stem,
may we be separated (“liberated”), not from immortality but from death.
