SHRI GURUCHARITRA-Chapter 35

In the previous post you read, King asked Parashar rishi,about the future of his son.Parashar told him, Your son will die after two years.The king was grieved to hear this news.He said, to save the life of your son, you should worship Lord shiva.Invite hundred brahmins and have ten thousand rudrabhishek.When King's son felt unconscious on the ground, rudra abhishek was sprinkled on his body and enchanted akshat(rice) was thrown on him.His Death was thus averted and He was thus saved from yamadoots by shivadoots.That was all about the significance of rudrasukta.To read previous posts in detail, Click the links below:
