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 4.20.5

तस्मादज्ञाततत्त्वानां पुंसां कुर्वतामकुर्वतां च कर्तृता । न तु ज्ञाततत्त्वानामवासनत्वात् ॥ ५ ॥

tasmādajñātatattvānāṃ puṃsāṃ kurvatāmakurvatāṃ ca kartṛtā | na tu jñātatattvānāmavāsanatvāt || 5 ||
