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 6.178.8

आत्मज्ञानमनासाद्य ज्ञानान्तरलवेन ये ।
सन्तुष्टाः कष्टचेष्टेन ते स्मृता ज्ञानबन्धवः ॥ ८ ॥

ātmajñānamanāsādya jñānāntaralavena ye |
santuṣṭāḥ kaṣṭaceṣṭena te smṛtā jñānabandhavaḥ || 8 ||
