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 5.17.3

या स्थितिस्तृष्णया जन्तोर्बाह्यार्थे बद्धभावया ।
तं बन्धमाहुराचार्याः संसारनिगडं दृढम् ॥ ३ ॥

yā sthitistṛṣṇayā jantorbāhyārthe baddhabhāvayā |
taṃ bandhamāhurācāryāḥ saṃsāranigaḍaṃ dṛḍham || 3 ||
