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 4.14.2

निर्वाणप्रकरणं नाम सर्गः ।
चतुर्दशः सर्गः ।
रामः ।
सतामप्यसतामेव बालयक्षपिशाचवत् ।
दामव्यालकटादीनां दुःखस्यान्तः कथं भवेत् ॥ १ ॥ वसिष्ठः ।
दामव्यालकटार्थं तैस्तदैव यमकिङ्करैः ।
प्रार्थितेन यमेनोक्तमिदं शृणु रघूद्वह ॥ २ ॥

dāmavyālakaṭādīnāṃ duḥkhasyāntaḥ kathaṃ bhavet || 1 || vasiṣṭhaḥ |
dāmavyālakaṭārthaṃ taistadaiva yamakiṅkaraiḥ |
