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 4.28.3

प्राप्ते धनेऽथ दारादौ हर्षस्यावसरो हि कः ।
वृद्धायां मृगतृष्णायां किमानन्दो जलार्थिनः ॥ ३ ॥

prāpte dhane'tha dārādau harṣasyāvasaro hi kaḥ |
vṛddhāyāṃ mṛgatṛṣṇāyāṃ kimānando jalārthinaḥ || 3 ||
