पाठ
त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् ।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥
tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam |
urvārukamiva bandhanānmṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt ||
We worship Tryambaka, the fragrant one, the increaser of nourishment. As a cucumber is freed from its stalk, so may I be released from death — but not from immortality.
