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 3.119.16

परमैव हि साविद्या मायैषा संसृतिर्ह्यसौ ।
असतो निष्प्रतिष्ठस्य यदाहन्त्वस्य भावनम् ॥ १६ ॥

paramaiva hi sāvidyā māyaiṣā saṃsṛtirhyasau |
asato niṣpratiṣṭhasya yadāhantvasya bhāvanam || 16 ||
