Maha Mrityunjaya mantra


Om Tryambakam yajah mahey
Sugandhim pushti vardhanam
Urdvaru kamivah bandhanat
Mrityormukshiya mamritat
e

"I worship One Lord in Three Persons (Creator, Sustainer, and Liberator),
Who presses out the nectar that sweetens creation and makes all creatures ripe.
Just as the fattened gourd effortlessly snaps from the vine when juicy and full,
So may my clinging mind be freed from things that pass away,
Even as my heart is nourished with the nectar of eternity."

(Translation by Fred Lamotte)
