महामृत्युञ्जयमन्त्रः · त्र्यम्बकमन्त्रः

Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra (Tryambaka Mantra)

त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् । उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥

Revealed to Maharishi Vasiṣṭha as the 12th and culminating verse of Rigveda Mandala 7, Sukta 59 (RV 7.59.12), the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra is chanted in households for physical healing, emotional resilience, safe travel, and liberation from fear. It compares spiritual liberation from mortality to a ripe cucumber effortlessly separating from its vine.
