We worship Shiva – The Three-Eyed (tryambakam) Lord (yajamahe) Who is fragrant (sugandhim) and nourishes (pushti) and grows (vardhanam) all beings.Īs the ripened cucumber (urvarukamiva) is automatically liberated (bandhanaan) (by the intervention of the “farmer”) from its bondage to the creeper when it fully ripens

It is particularly useful for meditation and yoga practice. The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk. Thus, death would never be able to claim him! Hence, this mantra is also referred to as the Markandeya mantra in classical Hindu studies. Legend has it that Lord Shiva appeared before his devotee Markandeya (who was destined to die at the age of sixteen) and stopped his aging process a few days before he was supposed to turn sixteen.
