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 5.14.17

कियन्तः पश्य पशवः प्रत्यहं प्रतिमण्डलम् ।
सूनावद्भिर्निहन्यन्ते केवात्र परिदेवना ॥ १७ ॥

kiyantaḥ paśya paśavaḥ pratyahaṃ pratimaṇḍalam |
sūnāvadbhirnihanyante kevātra paridevanā || 17 ||
