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 1.20.25

किं स्तनेन किमक्ष्णा वा किं नितम्बेन किं भ्रुवा ।
मांसमात्रैकसारेण करोम्यहमवस्तुना ॥ २५ ॥

kiṃ stanena kimakṣṇā vā kiṃ nitambena kiṃ bhruvā |
māṃsamātraikasāreṇa karomyahamavastunā || 25 ||
