Meaning
Tāra is oṁ, māyā is hrīṁ, and the wife of fire (vahnijāyā) is svāhā. The commentary assembles it: oṁ hrīṁ tigmaraśme ārogyadāya svāhā, "Oṁ hrīṁ, O hot-rayed one, to the giver of health, svāhā". The Sun is asked for health, the gift tradition always links with him.
Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
"Tāram" and the rest. First he should say tāra, the praṇava (oṁ). Then he should say māyā, the bīja hrīṁ. Then he should say "tigmaraśme" (O hot-rayed one). Then he should say "ārogyada" ending in the dative (ṅe), that is, ārogyadāya. Then, adding vahnijāyā (svāhā), he should draw out the Sun mantra. Put together, the Sun mantra drawn out is: oṁ hrīṁ tigmaraśme ārogyadāya svāhā.
