[Om. We worship The Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is naturally
fragrant, immensely merciful and who is the Protector of the devotees.
Worshipping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality
just as the ripe cucumber easily separtes itself from the binding stalk.
By your Grace, Let me be in the state of salvation (Moksha) and be saved
from the clutches of fearful death. The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is very
much a protector from accidents, mishaps and daily calamities in the modern
busy life.]
Special offerings to the bountiful Lord at Chandrasekharapuram temple grant all wishes and provide solace from illness and fear.
