This Sanskrit edition of the Moksopaya. It is a large philosophical text dealing with “the science of liberation”. Similar to the Yoga-vasistha in content, the Mokshopaya-shastra was likely its predecessor, said to contain 30,000 shlokas (metrical verses). One of the core philosophies of the texts teaches the non-existence of cognitive objects; while holding such a view leads to an attitude of dispassion towards worldly matters.

Verse 1.2.9

क्षीणायां वासनायां तु मनो गलति सत्वरम् ।
क्षीणायां शीतसन्तत्यां ब्रह्मन् हिमकणो यथा ॥ ९ ॥

kṣīṇāyāṃ vāsanāyāṃ tu mano galati satvaram |
