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 6.58.9

सत्त्वासत्त्वमती त्यक्त्वैवैतयोर्जगदात्मनोः ।
त्यक्त्वा नकिञ्चिन्मध्यं च शेषे बद्धपदो भव ॥ ९ ॥
