Chandrashekhara Ashtakam was written by Sage Markandeya, an ancient Hindu Rishi in praise of Lord Shiva, who saved him from the Lord of Death (Kala or Yama) at the age of 16 and blessed him to be 16 forever. It is believed that Sage Markandeya sung this beautiful Sanskrit stotra when Chandra Shekhara (Lord Shiv) saved the sage from death.
