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 6.189.4

मासौ प्रसरतु व्यर्थं चेत्याभावान्न सा सती ।
असत्कथं प्रसरति वन्ध्यापुत्रः क्व नृत्यति ॥ ४ ॥

māsau prasaratu vyarthaṃ cetyābhāvānna sā satī |
asatkathaṃ prasarati vandhyāputraḥ kva nṛtyati || 4 ||
