Lord Shiva killed three sons of Demon Tarakasura with a single arrow after taking avatar of Tripurari or Tripurantaka to restore peace.
These three sons had sought the blessings of Lord Brahma who granted them the boon that they can only be killed if someone hits all three of them with a single arrow. After being blessed, the demon brothers started causing massive destruction. Hence Lord Shiva had to take the avatar of Tripurari or Tripurantaka to kill them with a single arrow to restore peace everywhere.
