The Shaivaite Tryambakam mantra is a verse of the Yajurveda (TS 1.8.6.i; VS 3.60) addressed to Tryambaka "the three-eyed", identified with Shiva.

त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात
tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam
urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt
  • Translation (Arthur Berriedale Keith, 1914):
"To Tryambaka we make offering, The fragrant, increaser of prosperity; Like a cucumber from its stem, From death may I be loosened, not from immortality."
