Translation

We sacrifice unto Tryambaka, the sweet-scented, the increaser of nourishment: even as a cucumber from its bond, so may I be loosed from Death— not from immortality. We sacrifice unto Tryambaka, the sweet-scented, the bestower of a husband: even as a cucumber from its bond, so may I be loosed from hence— not from yonder.
