| Jul 3, 2022 at 3:12 | comment | added | Vivikta | Haha, thanks @LSSJBroly , about the Mritunjaya Mantra for other deities, I think they cannot be called Mritunjaya Mantra if they are for deities other than Shiva. Although, the closest I came across was for Dhanvantari. | |
| Jul 2, 2022 at 15:40 | comment | added | LSSJ Broly | Ohh..I wasn't knowing about 27 of them.. :O BTW were you able to find something related to your another question on mrityunjaya mantra in which you were asking about mrityunjaya mantra for different deities. I have seen that today and upvoted it too...tbh that was a very good question IMO. :D | |

Well, yes, @LSSJBroly At the time, when I posted this question, I wasn't aware of all of those, but now, as it turns out, I know that there are at least 27 different types or variations of the Mahā-Mṛtyunjaya Mantra, starting from the Ekākṣarī = हौं , up to the Sahastrākṣara Mrityunjaya Mālā Mantra (consisting of 1000 words). So, just like the Lord, the variations of the Mrityunjaya-mantra are endless. :)

| May 23, 2021 at 8:12 | comment | added | অনু | The "popular" version of Mrityunjaya Mantra cited here is actually Tryambaka mantra mentioned in Sharadatilaka & Brihat Tantrasara. The Mrityunjaya mantra, according to the Brihat Tantrasara, consists of the first 3 letters of the "short" version cited here. However the same text cites a "Shukropasita Mrityunjaya mantra" created by combing the words of the Gayatri mantra & Tryambaka mantra. | |

| May 21, 2021 at 16:32 | comment | added | Siv | @Ikshvaku - They are primordial Sanskrit sounds. Om Swami has elaborated much on this subject in his "The Ancient Science of Mantras". He talks exclusively about seeded and seedless mantras (they work pretty similar to seeded fruits and seedless fruits). | |
| May 21, 2021 at 16:32 | comment | added | Siv | @Rickross is right. These are Bija mantras. | |

| May 21, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | Ikshvaku | @Rickross Ok, I didn't know these were beeja mantras. | |
| May 21, 2021 at 13:24 | comment | added | Rickross | You can see how Shiva Bija (Haum) is revealed in a hidden code (in Sanskrit) in this answer: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/30298/4732 @Ikshvaku | |
| May 21, 2021 at 13:22 | comment | added | Rickross | Haum is Shiva Bija. Jum is also a Tantric Bija. Not Sanskrit?? @Ikshvaku | |
| May 21, 2021 at 13:12 | comment | added | Vivikta | I don't if it's Sanskrit or not @Ikshvaku, but these mantras are a popular internet savoury and also recommended by several astrologers that I know. For ex: see here | |
| May 21, 2021 at 13:00 | comment | added | Ikshvaku | हौं is not a sanskrit, it sounds hindi. Neither is जूं, which also sounds hindi. The only correct vedic mantra is the first one. The next two mantras have added hindi words. | |
