According to another tradition mentioned in the "Avanti Khanda" of the "Skanda Purana", Lakulisha and his four disciples while passing Mahakalavana, installed a linga at that place, which was then known as "Kayavarohaneshvara". The "Kurma Purana" (Chap. 53), the "Vayu Purana" (Chap. 23), and the "Linga Purana" (Chap. 24) predicted that Shiva (Maheshvara) would appear in the form of a wandering monk called 'Lakulin' or 'Nakulisha', and that he would have four disciples named, Kushika, Garga, Mitra, and Kanrushya, who would re-establish the cult of Pashupati and would therefore be called Pashupata(s). Lakulisha was the fruition of these divine predictions. According to "Vayu Purana" V. 1.23.202-214, Lakulisha was a contemporary of Vyasa and Krishna, and was the 28th incarnation of Rudra (Shiva).
