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 5.48.69

तदुत्तिष्ठ निजं कर्म कुर्वंस्तिष्ठोपशान्तधीः ।
न स्वकर्म विना श्रेयः प्राप्नुवन्तीह मानवाः ॥ ६९ ॥

taduttiṣṭha nijaṃ karma kurvaṃstiṣṭhopaśāntadhīḥ |
na svakarma vinā śreyaḥ prāpnuvantīha mānavāḥ || 69 ||
