One of the avatars of Lord Shiva, i.e, of Mrityunjaya is clearly stated in the above shloka. Lord Mrityunjaya appears with his third eye and eight shoulders. The upper left and right arms of his hold a pitcher of Amrutham that is directed to be poured onto himself. One of his right hands holds a string of beads and one of his left hands is posed to show the seal of deer(Mrugi mudra). The remaining hands hold pitchers of amrutham
Lord Shiva appears in Mrityunjaya avatar to rescue Markandeya, the son of Mrikandu Maharshi from the crutches of Yama. He not only does save Markandeya from untimely death but also pronounces him immortal. That's why...`

Markandeya has sung the above lines. Mrityunjaya has three eyes that of the sun, fire, and moon. The Fire eye destroys the sins, Sun eye eradicates ignorance and the moon eye provides relief from soaring temperatures. Mrityunjaya Archana and Homam rescue the devotees from untimely death and defects in stars. When performed with Rudradhyaayanuvaakam and Moolamantra Havana, devotees shall gain the results of Rudra Homam and complete blessings of Lord Shiva.
Mrityunjaya Homam when performed at the residence of devotees has its benefits but when performed in Srisailam, which is considered as an incarnation of Kailasa, the center of the world and in the presence of Sri Mallikarjuna Bhramaramba, renders the complete positive outcomes that of a Shiva Archana. This Homam not only protects devotees from untimely death but also showers the blessings of Sri Bhramarambika and Mallikarjuna Swamy
