Moksopaya [sanskrit]

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 5.90.56

प्राणानां प्राणता स्पन्दात्तच्छान्तौ ते दृषत्समाः ।
यतः स्थिता धारणया तेनानष्टास्य सा तनुः ॥ ५६ ॥

prāṇānāṃ prāṇatā spandāttacchāntau te dṛṣatsamāḥ |
yataḥ sthitā dhāraṇayā tenānaṣṭāsya sā tanuḥ || 56 ||
