त्र्य॑म्बकं यजामहे सु॒गन्धिं॑ पुष्टि॒वर्ध॑नम् । उ॒र्वा॒रु॒कमि॑व॒ बन्ध॑नान्मृ॒त्योर्मु॑क्षीय॒ मामृता॑त्
tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam urvārukamiva bandhanānmṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt
We worship the three‑eyed One, fragrant, nurturing and strengthening. Like the ripening vine from bondage release us from death—grant us immortality.
We worship Tryambaka, whose fame is fragrant, the augmenter of increase; may I be liberated fromdeath, and, like the urvāruka from its stalk, but not to immortality; let us worship Trayambaka, whose fame isfragrant, the augmenter of increase; may I be liberated from death like the urvāruka from its stalk, but not untoimmortality.
Tryambaka we worship, sweet augmenter of prosperity. As from its stem the cucumber, so may I be released from death, not reft of immortality.
