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 6.183.20

किं केन कथमेकान्तशान्ताततशिवात्मनि ।
निरालोके परालोके शून्ये जगति जन्यते ॥ २० ॥

kiṃ kena kathamekāntaśāntātataśivātmani |
nirāloke parāloke śūnye jagati janyate || 20 ||
