The mantra 'Tryambakaṃ yajāmahe' (Ṛg VII. 59. 12, Tai. S. I. 8. 6. 2, Vāj. S. III. 60) is called Mṛtyuñjaya. Japa of it is prescribed for relief against premature death. The Baudhāyana-gṛhyaśeṣasūtra (III. 11) prescribes a somewhat more elaborate rite and provides that the mantras to be recited are 'apaitu mṛtyuḥ' (Tai. Br. III. 7. 14. 4), 'paraṃ mṛtyo' (Tai. Br. III. 7. 14. 5), 'mā no mahāntam' (Ṛg I. 114. 7), 'mā nas-toke' (Tai. S. III. 4. 11. 2), 'Tryambakaṃ yajāmahe' (Tai. S I 8. 6. 2), 'Ye te sahasram' (Tai Br. III 10. 8. 2).
