चार्वाक

भौतिक सिद्धान्त का प्रवर्तक, वेद का प्रत्याख्याता, केवल प्रत्यक्ष प्रमाण को मानने वाला, देह को ही आत्मा मानने वाला, देह के विनाश में ही निर्वाण देखने वाला तक्ष्ववेत्ता एवं उसका शास्त्र

the founder of the materialistic school of philosophy, which rejected the authority of the veda, denied the doctrine of transmigration and salvation, rejected all the means of knowledge except evident or perception, maintaining that the body is the real soul, denying the existence, of all that transcends the senses, and seeking the salvation in the dissolution of the body
