MAHAMRITUNJAYA.
The Great prayer to Lord Shiva , which has become Universally Famous as a Life saving Mantra.
Aum Tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭi-vardhanam
urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt
Hail the three eyed One! O fragrant (pleasant),
healthy (pleasing to look at) Lord,
sever us from false worldly realm, gently, like a cucumber, whose umbilical cord gets severed without any painful process, just lying on the ground; but O lord, do not divest us from your Amrita, your nectar of Gyan, (gnosis) , which liberates from death itself.
Thus we see that although the Mantra is being used for prolongiong life, it is essentially a prayer for enlightenment: a prayer to Shiva, who has the third eye of viveka,the Gyan chakshu that can destroy all false perception, to raise our level of Consciousness.
Aum Namah Shivaya.
