The Moksopaya, formerly known as the Yogavasistha, is one of the most extensive philosophical didactic poems in world literature, comprising around 32,000 verses—8,000 more than the Ramayana. Set within a frame story that incorporates philosophical discourse into an episode of the Ramayana, it blends theoretical expositions with parabolic narratives to convey its philosophy of non-ascetic 'liberation-in-life' (jivanmukti). This unique narrative approach has captivated the Indian intellect, leading to abridged translations into various Indian vernaculars and Persian, thereby influencing thought across India to this day. Despite its significance, the work has not been adequately addressed in recent literary histories, likely due to challenges in categorizing it within Indian literature and philosophy. The original philosophical content has undergone significant alterations by Advaita-Vedantic redactors, complicating the task of fully appreciating the text. However, an older version, the Moksopaya, has survived in a manuscript from Kashmir, which has not been subjected to these changes. We aim to provide access to this text through a critical edition of the mula text and, as an initial step, an edition of Bhaskarakantha's commentary, of which only fragments remain.
