Translation: 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 is freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality. Heres a word by word translation of the Mahamrityunjay Mantra: tri-ambaka-m the three-eyed-one yaja-mahe we praise sugandhi-m the fragrant pusti-vardhana-m the prosperity-increaser urvaruka-m disease, attachment, obstacles in life, and resulting depression iva -like bandhanat from attachment Stem (of the gourd); but more generally, unhealthy attachment mrtyor from death mukshiya may you liberate ma not amritat realization of immortality.,
