Farya Faraji | Defeater of Death - Epic Indian Music @faryafaraji | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 9 hours ago
Music by Farya Faraji, based on melodic recitations of religious Hindu mantras, with vocals by Sirisha Ananthul. The lyrics sung here in Sanskrit are the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, which translates to "Great death-defeating mantra." A religious prayer to one of Rudra's aspects, who is himself one of the aspects of Shiva in Hinduism. The instrumentation consists primarily of various Indian percussions like the dhol, tablas and the mridangam, with instrumentation based on a tampura drone following Classical Hindustani and Carnatic practices, a sitar, a bansuri, dilruba, sarod, and a santoor.
Lyrics in Sanskrit:
ॐ त्र्य॑म्बकं यजामहे सु॒गन्धिं॑ पुष्टि॒वर्ध॑नम्
उ॒र्वा॒रु॒कमि॑व॒ बन्ध॑नान् मृ॒त्योर्मु॑क्षीय॒ माऽमृता॑॑त्
Oṃ tryámbakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhíṃ puṣṭi-vardhánam
Urvārukam íva bandhánān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā 'mṛtā́t
English translation:
"We sacrifice to Tryambaka the fragrant, increaser of prosperity.
Like a cucumber from its stem, might I be freed from death, not from deathlessness."
