Moksopaya [sanskrit]

192,019 words | ISBN-10: 8120831470 | ISBN-13: 9788120831476

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 6.178.1

जीवनिर्णययोगोपदेशो नाम सर्गः ।
अष्टसप्तत्युत्तरशततमः सर्गः ।
वसिष्ठः ।
ज्ञानिनैव सदा भाव्यं राम न ज्ञानबन्धुना ।
अज्ञतैव वरं मन्ये न पुनर्ज्ञानबन्धुता ॥ १ ॥

jīvanirṇayayogopadeśo nāma sargaḥ |
aṣṭasaptatyuttaraśatatamaḥ sargaḥ |
vasiṣṭhaḥ |
jñāninaiva sadā bhāvyaṃ rāma na jñānabandhunā |
ajñataiva varaṃ manye na punarjñānabandhutā || 1 ||
