Mahamrityunjaya Mantra

महामृत्युञ्जय मन्त्र

The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra — 'the great death-conquering mantra' — is one of the most sacred mantras in the Vedic tradition. Addressed to Lord Shiva as Tryambaka (the three-eyed one), it is chanted for healing, protection, and liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth.

महामृत्युञ्जय मन्त्र वैदिक परम्परा के सबसे पवित्र मन्त्रों में से एक है। यह भगवान शिव को त्र्यम्बक (तीन नेत्रों वाले) के रूप में सम्बोधित करता है और आरोग्य, रक्षा व मुक्ति के लिए जपा जाता है।

Mantra

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् । उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात् ॥

Translation

Om. We worship the three-eyed Lord Shiva, who is fragrant and nourishes all beings. Just as a ripe cucumber falls effortlessly from the vine, may he liberate us from the bondage of death — and never separate us from the nectar of immortality.
