Spirit of Hinduism : The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra


-----------------------------------------------------------
ॐ त्र्यम्बकम् यजामहे सुगन्धिम् पुष्टिवर्धनम् ।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माम्रतात् ।।
- The Rig Veda (7.59.12)

Transliteration :
Om tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭi-vardhanam ।
urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt ।।

Meaning :
OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd if freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality.
