- त्रयीमूल शम्भो शिव त्र्यम्बक त्वम्
- root of the three Vedas, Shambhu, Shiva, O three-eyed one,
- प्रसीद स्मर त्राहि पश्यावमुक्त्यै
- be gracious; remember, protect, look - for release from the downward path,
- क्षमां प्राप्नुहि त्र्यक्ष मां रक्ष मोदात्
- gain forgiveness, O three-eyed one; protect me, give joy.
The three-eyed Lord is invoked as root of the Vedas and refuge from the downward path. His grace alone can lift the soul from the pull of ignorance toward liberation.
