71.

त्र्यंबकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनं।

उर्वरुकमिव बन्धनमृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतत्॥

tryaṁbakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam,

urvārukamiva bandhanānmṛtyor-mukśīya mā'mṛtāt.

We worship the Three-Eyed One, fragrant (with energy), increasing strength and prosperity (of those who adore Him); may I (we) be freed from death for (the sake of) immortality, as a cucumber is freed from its hold (of bondage to the creeper).

72.

यो रुद्रोऽग्नौ योऽप्सु य ओषधीषु यो रुद्रो विश्व भुवना विवेश तस्मै रुद्राय नमो अस्तु॥

yo rudro'agnau yo'apsu ya oṣadhīṣu yo rudro viśvā bhuvanā viveśa tasmai rudrāya namo astu.

That Rudra who is in fire, who is in water, who is in (medical) herbs, that Rudra who has entered all the worlds—to that Rudra be prostration.

73.

तमु ष्टुहि यः स्विषुः सुधन्वा यो विश्वस्य क्षयति भेषजस्य।

यक्ष्वामहे सौमनसाय रुद्रं नमोभिर्देवमसुरं दुवस्या॥

tamu ṣṭuhi yaḥ sviṣuḥ sudhanvā yo viśvasya kśayati bheṣajasya,

yakśvāmahe saumanasāya rudraṁ namhobhirdevamasuraṁ duvasya.

Resort to Him, who is armed with excellent arrows and a good bow, who is the source of all remedies for worldly ills; we worship (that) God, Rudra, the Destroyer of pains, with (our) salutations, for (attaining) peace of mind.

74.

अयं मे हस्तो भगवनायं मे भागवतरः।

अयं मे विश्वभेषजोऽयंशिवाभिमर्शनः॥

ayaṁ me hasto bhagavānayaṁ me bhagavattaraḥ,

ayaṁ me viśvabheṣajo'yaṁśivābhimarśanaḥ.

This hand of mine is blessed; this, mine, is twice blessed; this, mine, is the remedy for the ills of all the world—this, which has touched Siva (in the shrine of worship).

75.

ये ते सहस्रमायुतं पाशा मृत्यो मार्त्याय हन्तवे।

तन यज्ञस्य मायया सर्वानव यजामहे॥

ye te sahasramayutaṁ pāśā mṛtyo martyāya hantave,

tān yajñasya māyayā sarvānava yajāmahe.

O Destroyer (Death of death)! What thousands and tens of thousands of binding forces wielded by You there are, (which are) meant for the ruin of the mortal individual; those all we set aside with the power of sacrifice.

76.

मृत्यवे स्वाहा मृत्यवे स्वाहा।

ॐ नमो भगवते रुद्राय विष्णवे मृत्युर्मे पाहि॥

mṛtyave svāhā mṛtyave svāhā,

ōṁ namo bhagavate rudrāya viṣṇave mṛtyurme pāhi.

May this offering be to the Death Supreme (Death of death, or Destroyer of all evil, sin and sorrow)! May this offering be to the Death Supreme! Om, Prostration to the All-Pervading, Blessed Lord Rudra! Save me from death (mortal existence)!

77.

प्राणानं ग्रन्थिरसि रुद्रो मा विशान्तकः।

तेनन्नेनाप्यायस्व॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

prāṇānāṁ granthirasi rudro mā viśāntakaḥ

tenānnenāpyāyasva. ōṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ.

Thou, Rudra, art the centre of the vital forces; enter not (therefore) as the destroyer. With this sustaining element (of Thy Grace), make us grow into abundance and fullness! Om. May there be Peace, Peace, Peace.

78.

ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विद्महे महादेवाय धीमहि।

तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्॥

ōṁ tatpuruṣhaya vidmahe mahādevāya dhīmahi,

tanno rudraḥ prachodayāt.

We commune ourselves with that great Purusha, and meditate on Mahadeva (Great God). May that Rudra (Siva) direct us (to the Great Goal).

79.

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

ōṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ.

Om. May there be Peace, Peace, Peace.
