Mahamrutyumjaya تعويذة - "العظمى الموت قهر تعويذة"

Word-by-word meaning of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra:-

aum = is a sacred/mystical syllable in Sanatan Dharma or Hindu religions, i.e. Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism & Sikhism.

tryambakam = the three-eyed one (accusative case),

यजामहे = We worship, adore, honour, revere,

sugandhim = sweet fragrance, fragrant (accusative case),

puṣṭi = A well-nourished condition, thriving, prosperous, fullness of life,

vardhanam = One who nourishes, strengthens, causes to increase (in health, wealth, well-being); who gladdens, exhilarates, and restores health; a good gardener,

puṣṭi+vardhanam = पुष्टि: वर्धते अनेन तत् = puṣṭiḥ vardhate anena tat (samas)= The one who nourishes someone else and gives his life fullness.

urvārukam-iva = like the cucumber or melon (in the accusative case); or like a big peach.

bandhanān = "from captivity" {i.e. from the stem of the cucumber} (of the gourd); (the ending is actually long a, then -t, which changes to n/anusvara because of sandhi)

Thus, read with urvārukam iva, it means 'I am bound down just like a cucumber (to a vine)'. If you read it with mṛtyormukṣīya it means 'liberate from the bounds of death'

mṛtyormukṣīya = Free, liberate From death

mṛtyoḥ + mukṣīya= from death + free (Vedic usage)

mā ∫ mṛtāt can be translated in a number of different ways:

1) mā + amṛtāt = not + immortality, nectar

Translation would be: (Free me from death but) not from immortality.

2) mā (short form of mām) + amṛtāt = myself + immortality

Translation would be: Give me some life rejuvenating nectar

3) mā (short form of mām) + amṛtāt = myself + sure, definitely

Translation would be: Free me from certain death.

Reciting this mantra is said to be beneficial for mental, emotional and physical health and to be a moksha mantra which bestows longevity and immortality.
