Moksopaya [sanskrit]

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 2.17.7

दीपे यथा विनिद्रस्य ज्वलिते सम्प्रवर्तते ।
आलोकोऽनिच्छतोऽप्येवं निर्वाणमनया भवेत् ॥ ७ ॥

dīpe yathā vinidrasya jvalite sampravartate |
āloko'nicchato'pyevaṃ nirvāṇamanayā bhavet || 7 ||
