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 4.14.4

रामः ।
स्ववृत्तान्तमिमं कुत्र कदा कथय ते कथम् ।
श्रोष्यन्ति भगवन् केन वर्ण्यमानं कथाक्रमम् ॥ ४ ॥

rāmaḥ |
svavṛttāntamimaṃ kutra kadā kathaya te katham |
śroṣyanti bhagavan kena varṇyamānaṃ kathākramam || 4 ||
