Notes:
Śiva ##shiva## narrates to Pārvatī ##pArvatI##, about the boons that were granted to Viṣṇu ##viShNu## when He had so ardently worshiped Śiva ##shiva## that He even offered one of His eyes to compensate for a missing lotus from the thousand of them that He was offering while reciting Śiva Sahasranāma ##shiva sahasranAma##. Pleased with such intense devotion, Śiva ##shiva## granted the Sudarśana cakra ##sudarshana chakra## to Viṣṇu ##viShNu##.
Upon being beseeched further, Śiva ##shiva## instructed Him about merits of performing worship and rites at the Maṇikarṇikā ŚivaTīrthaKṣetra ##maNikarNikA shivatIrthakShetra##; and, mentions that anyone who breathes his/her last at while reciting the Śiva Pañcākṣara Mantra ##shiva pa~nchAkShara mantra## at Maṇikarṇikā ŚivaTīrthaKṣetra ##maNikarNikA shivatIrthakShetra## in Kaśī ##kAshI##, would be eligible for liberation.
Kaśī ##kAshI## harbors several ŚivaTīrthaKṣetra ##shivatIrthakShetra## that are outlined in ŚivaRahasyam saptāṃśaḥ ##shivarahasyaM saptAMshaH##.##
