Verse 1

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti-Vardhanam |
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat ||

We worship the Three-Eyed Lord Shiva, who is fragrant and nourishes all beings. As a ripe cucumber is freed from its vine, may He liberate us from death and bondages, bestowing immortality.

हम तीन नेत्रों वाले शिव की पूजा करते हैं, जो सुगंधित हैं और सबका पोषण करते हैं। जैसे पका फल (ककड़ी) बेल से अपने-आप छूट जाता है, वैसे ही वे हमें मृत्यु के बंधन से मुक्त करें, पर अमृत (मोक्ष) से नहीं।
