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 3.21.16

लीला ।
ब्राह्मणब्राह्मणीरूपे सर्गे या कारणं स्मृतिः ।
कथमभ्युदिता सा स्यात्स्मरणीयमिदं विना ॥ १६ ॥
