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 3.11.8

यथा सौवर्णकटके दृश्यमानमपि स्फुटम् ।
कटकत्वं तु नास्त्येव जगत्त्वं तु तथा परे ॥ ८ ॥

yathā sauvarṇakaṭake dṛśyamānamapi sphuṭam |
kaṭakatvaṃ tu nāstyeva jagattvaṃ tu tathā pare || 8 ||
