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 1.17.49

मज्जन् कर्दमकोशेषु झगित्येव जरां गतः ।
न ज्ञायते यात्यचिरात्क्व कथं देहदर्दुरः ॥ ४९ ॥

majjan kardamakośeṣu jhagityeva jarāṃ gataḥ |
