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 4.38.17

सर्वकर्ताप्यकर्तेव करोत्यात्मा न किञ्चन ।
तिष्ठत्यलमुदासीन आलोकं प्रति दीपवत् ॥ १७ ॥

sarvakartāpyakarteva karotyātmā na kiñcana |
tiṣṭhatyalamudāsīna ālokaṃ prati dīpavat || 17 ||
