Dear Colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the critical edition of the *Mokṣopāya*, including the *Khila*s (also known as *Nānāpraśna*), has recently been completed: https://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/Mok%E1%B9%A3op%C4%81ya_-_Textedition_Teil_7_Das_Sechste_Buch%3A_Nirv%C4%81%E1%B9%87aprakara%E1%B9%87a_Teil_3%3A_Kapitel_253%E2%80%93374_und_Nachtragskapitel_1%E2%80%9314/titel_8451.ahtml The present volume is the third volume of the *Nirvāṇaprakaraṇa* and contains 4,990 verses distributed across 122 sargas. These verses cover chapters VI.253–374 of the *Mokṣopāya*. Along with the additional 602 verses of the *Khila*s in 14 chapters, the volume contains a total of 5,592 verses newly edited from manuscripts. The complete *Nirvāṇaprakaraṇa* thus comprises more than half of the *Mokṣopāya*'s total text (30,040 verses). Contrary to a still-prevailing misconception, the 10th-century *Mokṣopāya* from Kashmir has nothing at all to do with Śaṅkara's Advaitavedānta or anyone else's Vedānta, but instead advocates a unique, consciousness-only ontology (*cid-advaita*). It is written in a delightful alternation of philosophical Sanskrit and classical *kāvya* style. Not to mention the spirited stories employed by the anonymous author as *dṛṣṭānta*s to exemplify the intricacies of his philosophy. Below is an overview of all the 13 volumes published so far (Sanskrit edition, partial German translation, Commentary and Concordance): https://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/reihenwerk_455.ahtml Kindly regarding, WS
