Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् ।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात् ॥
Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat
Meaning
We worship the three-eyed Lord Shiva, who is fragrant and nourishes all; as a ripe cucumber is freed easily from its vine, may he free us from the bondage of death, not from immortality. It comes from the Rigveda.
