MEANING (as I understand it)
OM
TR-YAM-BA-KAM YA-JĀ-MA-HE: We Worship the Tryambaka (the Three-Eyed One
= SHIVA)
SUGAN-DHIM PUṢTI VAR-DHA-NAM: Who is Fragrant (as the
Spiritual Essence) and Increasing the Nourishment (of our Spiritual Core)
UR-VAA-RUKM-IVA BAN-DHA-NĀN: (may I be
liberated) from the web of bondage (or Karma) that holds us captive like
cucumbers entangled in their creepers
MṚT-YOR-MUKSHEE-YA MĀ-[A]MṚTĀT: may I be
Liberated from Death (and attachment to Perishable Things), so that I
am not separated from the
perception of Immortality (immortal Essence
pervading everywhere).
