If you read it with mṛtyormukṣīya it means ‘liberate from the bounds of death’ Thus, read with urvārukam iva, it means ‘I am bound down just like a cucumber (to a vine)’. बन्धनान् bandhanān = “from captivity” (of the gourd) (the ending is actually long a, then -t, which changes to n/anusvara because of sandhi) Another way: uru: big, large ārukam (in the accusative case): peach iva: like. But urva (उर्वा) does not mean ‘vishal’ in Sanskrit Another possibility would be ūrva (root ऊर्व्), meaning ‘to kill, hurt’, which could bend the translation to ‘please eredicate all disease’ as ūrva is in the imperative mood. Note: Some people have decomposed the compound urvārukam in this way: ‘urva’ means “vishal” or big and powerful or deadly ‘arukam’ means ‘disease’. उर्वारुकमिव urvārukam-iva = like the cucumber or melon (in the accusative case) or like a big peach. पुष्टि-वर्धनम् = puṣṭi+vardhanam = पुष्टि: वर्धते अनेन तत् = puṣṭiḥ vardhate anena tat (samas)= The one who nourishes someone else and gives his life fullness. वर्धनम् vardhanam = One who nourishes, strengthens, causes to increase (in health, wealth, well-being) who gladdens, exhilarates, and restores health a good gardener, पुष्टि puṣṭi = A well-nourished condition, thriving, prosperous, fullness of life, सुगन्धिम् sugandhim = sweet smelling, fragrant (accusative case), यजामहे yajāmahe = We worship, adore, honour, revere, त्र्यम्बकं tryambakam = the three-eyed one (accusative case), In Ancient Egyptian Religion the sound ‘Aum’ is a Sacred word of power called Hekau. Aum appears in the Ancient Egyptian papyri of Leiden and Demotic). Aum also appears in ancient African religion i.e. ॐ aum = is a sacred/mystical syllable in Sanatan Dharma or Hindu religions, i.e. Word-by-word meaning of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra:.
