According to Kashi Khand, Chapter 73, Lord Shiva was describing importance and divine powers of various Shiv Lings.  Inter alia, he narrated the Shiv Lings in sets of fourteen each.

Among the second set of fourteen Lings, Chandeeshwar is the eleventh Ling.  Lord Shiva has given the importance of worshipping these Lings in detail.

A person who worships Chandeeshwar among the above fourteen Lings will not have rebirth. These Lings are invaluable treasures.  Let alone worshipping, if a person with all divinity takes the names of these Lings including Chandeeshwar, he will be saved from all sorts of dangers and worries.

Lord Shiva further stated that he will always be present in Chandeeshwar Ling and those who worship this deity will attain Mukti.  A devotee who comes to Avimukta Kshetra (core area of  Kashi) and worships Chandeeshwar will definitely attain Moksha and there is no doubt about it.

Learned Pundits believe that  if a lamp is lit in front of Chandeeshwar with all divinity, in rememberance of any departed soul, within 27 days of the death, the departed soul will get liberated (Moksha) and reach the abode of Lord. This lamp is called as Moksha Deepam or Mukti Deep
