Word for word, the way it has always been said. Their name goes at its head, and your words travel with it. The Sanskrit never arrives alone: a transliteration, so anyone can say it aloud, and its meaning in plain English.

Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra: The Great Healing Prayer

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् । उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥
oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam | urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt ||
We worship the three-eyed one, the fragrant one who nourishes all beings. As a ripened cucumber slips free of its stem, may we be released from the bond of death, but not from immortality.
