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 3.7.23

प्रकाशस्य यथालोको यथा शून्यत्वमम्बरे ।
तथेदं संस्थितं यत्र तद् रूपं परमात्मनः ॥ २३ ॥

prakāśasya yathāloko yathā śūnyatvamambare |
tathedaṃ saṃsthitaṃ yatra tad rūpaṃ paramātmanaḥ || 23 ||
