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 5.34.8

किमहं नाम तावत्स्यां योऽस्मिन्भुवनडम्बरे ।
वच्मि गच्छामि तिष्ठामि प्रयते चाहरामि च ॥ ८ ॥

kimahaṃ nāma tāvatsyāṃ yo'sminbhuvanaḍambare |
vacmi gacchāmi tiṣṭhāmi prayate cāharāmi ca || 8 ||
