Goddess Parvaty requested Lord Shiva to describe  various Teerths (Sacred Ponds) and Shiv Lings in the Holy City of Kashi. (Kashi Khand, Chapter 97).  Lord Shiva was very pleased to accede to the request of the Goddess.

Kashi Khand mentions one Shatkaleshwar Ling among various other Shiv Lings.  It is stated in this epic that Lord Shiva stayed in Kashi to bring out this Ling for the benefit of easy darshan to the devotees.

A devotee who worships Shatkaleshwar Ling, will live happily for hundred years.
