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 4.14.17

दानवो दामनामान्तर्मषकस्तस्य सद्मनि ।
भविष्यति बृहत्स्तम्भपृष्ठच्छिद्रे मृदुध्वनिः ॥ १७ ॥

dānavo dāmanāmāntarmaṣakastasya sadmani |
bhaviṣyati bṛhatstambhapṛṣṭhacchidre mṛdudhvaniḥ || 17 ||
