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 3.112.21

मनसैव मनश्छित्त्वा पाशं परमबन्धनम् ।
उन्मोचितो न येनात्मा नासावन्येन मोक्ष्यते ॥ २१ ॥

manasaiva manaśchittvā pāśaṃ paramabandhanam |
unmocito na yenātmā nāsāvanyena mokṣyate || 21 ||
