“I Take Refuge in the Triple Jewel (Namo Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha)”
नमस् n. namas means obeisance. (SSO)
Nama (नम) is general salutation. Namo namah is actually repeating it twice (first one is pronounced as Namo while being repeated)
There is an alternate explanation given by some Hindu acharyas. “Na” in Sanskrit is negation, “Ma” means “mine”. If we join them together then we can derive a meaning “Not mine”. When we pray to Buddhas / Gods, we repeat that whatever we are getting in this world is actually “not mine” (indirectly we are referring that it is because of the Deity’s blessings).
