Mrityunjaya mantra - Shiva



OM. Tryambakam yajamahe
Sugandhim pushti-vardhanam
Urvarukamiva bandhanan
Mrityor mukshiya mamritat


OM Almighty God
Tryambakam three-eyed
Yajamahe We worship, adore, honor, revere
Sugandhim sweet fragrance
Pushti A well-nourished condition, thriving, prosperous, full, and complete
Vardhanam One who nourishes, strengthens, causes to increase (in health, wealth, well-being); who gladdens, exhilarates, and restores health; a good gardener

Urvarukam disease, attachment, obstacles in life, and resulting depression
Iva Like, just as
Bandhanan Stem (of the gourd); but more generally, unhealthy attachment
Mrityor From death
Mukshiya Free us, liberate us
Ma not
Amritat Immortality, emancipation
