According to Hindu literatures, the only person on the planet earth who knew this Maha Mantra was Rishi Markendeya. This Rudra Mantra is considered secret and sacred mantra.

There are two versions on the history of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra.

• In the first version, it is believed that once King Daksha cursed Lord Moon (Chandra), and Rishi Markandeya gave the Maha Mrityunjaya Stotram to Sati (King Daksha’s daughter) for the moon.
• In the another version, Lord Shiva himself gave this Tryambakam mantra to Rishi Sukracharya, who revealed to Rishi Sukracharya, who then shared with Rishi Dadhichi. Then Rishi Dadhichi taught it to King Kshuva and then ended up in the Shiva Purana.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra can be found in the Rig Veda (Seventh Mandala.59.12), the Yajur Veda (III.60), and the Atharva Veda (XIV.1.17).
