The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful mantras in the Rigveda, attributed to the sage Vasishtha.
It is addressed to Shiva in his form as Tryambaka — the three-eyed one — and is traditionally chanted at times of illness, death, and crisis.
Found in the Shiva Purana and the Yajurveda, it forms a central part of Vedic rituals across India.
It is also known as the Rudra Mantra and the Mrita Sanjivini Mantra — the one that revives from death.
