ௐ த்ர்யம்ப³கம்ʼ யஜாமஹே ஸுக³ந்தி⁴ம்ʼ புஷ்டிவர்த⁴நம்।
உர்வாருகமிவ ப³ந்த⁴நாந் ம்ருʼத்யோர்முக்ஷீய மா(அ)ம்ருʼதாத்॥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.
