Om, We Worship the Three-Eyed One (Lord Shiva)
Who is Fragrant (Spiritual Essence) and Who Nourishes all beings.
May He severe our Bondage of Samsara (Worldly Life), like a Cucumber (severed from the bondage of its Creeper),
And thus Liberate us from the Fear of Death, by making us realize that we are never separated from our Immortal Nature.
