Recited on Maha Shivaratri

1. ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
   उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

   Om tryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam, urvarukamiva bandhanan mrityor mukshiya maamritat.

   We worship the three-eyed one, fragrant, who nourishes all. As a ripe cucumber parts from its vine, may he free us from death, not from immortality.
