Transliteration
Om Tri-ambakham Yaajaa Mahay
Sugandheem Pushteevaadhaanan
Oorvaarookamiv Bandhanaat
Mrityor Mukhshee-aa Maamrootaat
Meaning
Om, we worship the tri-ambakham (the three-eyed one)
Who is fragrant (as the spiritual essence), increasing the nourishment (of our spiritual core)
From these many bondages (of samsara) like cucumbers (attached to their vines)
May I be liberated from death (attachment to perishable things) so that I am not separated from the perception of immortality (immortal essence pervading everywhere)
Effect
This mantra helps us prepare to face death by knowing that who we really are cannot die, but just leaves the physical body. It strengthens the mind and nervous system to get ready for the coming age, so we can help others along the way. It develops purity in us.
