Origin of Mahamrityunjaya Jaap...
It is believed that once sage Mrikandu and wife Marudmati decided to take a long penance in the hope of being blessed with a son. Lord Shiva was impressed with their devotion and gave them two choices; one was an intelligent son with a short life or a son with low intelligence but a long life. Mrikandu accepted the former and was blessed with Markandeya with a life span of only 16 years.
