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 2.11.53

महानसि विरक्तोऽसि तज्ज्ञोऽसि जनतास्थितौ ।
त्वयि वस्तु लगत्यन्तः कुङ्कुमाम्बु यथांशुके ॥ ५३ ॥

mahānasi virakto'si tajjño'si janatāsthitau |
tvayi vastu lagatyantaḥ kuṅkumāmbu yathāṃśuke || 53 ||
