Abstract
The article deals with the concept of liberation (moksa) in the “Manava-Dharmasastra” (hereinafter the MDS), in particular as this concept features in its sixth section (slokas 35, 36, 37, 40, 44, 58, 78, 81). Although this text is not philosophical, the author proves its significance for the history of philosophy. Based on the research methodology developed by Vilen Gorsky, the author claims that MDS (1) contains a text devoted to the concept of moksa, which is the first in the Indian tradition, albeit a brief, but substantially clear, not aphoristic (or metaphorical) one; (2) it actually describes the states of the liberated in life (jivan-mukti) and after life (videha-mukti), although these terms are not yet used; (3) the characteristic feature of its description of the final release is more likely to testify to the not-two understanding of the transcendental state, since the liberated is in Brahman. Thereupon, the doctrine of moksa from the MDS, which could have subsequently proved significant to the Indian philosophical tradition, has been compared with the first Indian philosophical texts (“The Brahma Sutras”, “The Nyaya Sutras” and “Vaisesika Sutras”) that also touch upon the topic of liberation. As a result, it has been established that the idea of moksa is most fully described not in the sutras, but in the MDS.
