Origin
Rishi Markandeya was the only person who knew about the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra. He gave it to Sati, the daughter of Daksha, to help Moon who was in trouble due to the curse by Daksha. It is also believed that the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra was given by Lord Shiva to Sage Shukracharya who later passed on it to Rishi Dadhici, who further passed it on to King Kshuva, through whom it was added in Shiva Purana.
Har Har Mahadev!
