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 3.2.4

एवमाकाशजं विप्रं न कस्माद्भक्षयाम्यहम् ।
अत्र मे कुण्ठिता शक्तिः खड्गधारा यथोपले ॥ ४ ॥

evamākāśajaṃ vipraṃ na kasmādbhakṣayāmyaham |
atra me kuṇṭhitā śaktiḥ khaḍgadhārā yathopale || 4 ||
