Charvaca has direct perception, empiricism and conditional conclusion as proper sources of knowledge, embraces philosophical skepticism and rejects ritualism and the supernatural. It was a very popular belief system in India prior to the advent of Jain and Traditions. Brihaspati is traditionally referred to as the founder of the philosophy of Charvaki or Lokiyata, although some scholars dispute this. During the Hindu reform of 600 BC, when Buddhism and Jainism emerged, philosophy was well documented and opposed to new religions. Much of Charvaki's basic literature, the Barkhaspatic sutras, was lost either because of its popularity or for other unknown reasons. His teachings were composed of historical secondary literature, such as those found in shastras, sutras and Indian epic poetry, as well as in the dialogues of Gautama Buddha and from Jain literature. However, there is a text that may belong to the Charwaki tradition, written by the sceptic philosopher Jayarashi Bhanya, known as Tattvalava-Sinya, who provides information about this school, albeit unorthodox. One of the widely studied principles of Charvaca's philosophy was its rejection of withdrawal as a means of establishing valid, universal knowledge and metaphysical truths. In other words, Charvaca's epistemology states that whenever one can draw a conclusion about the truth from a set of observations or truths, doubt must be recognized; the knowledge withdrawn is conditional. Charvaca is classified as an unorthodox school of Indian philosophy. He is considered an example of atheistic schools in the Hindu tradition. (b) (c) etymology and the meaning of Charvaka etymology (Sanskrit: चावाक) is uncertain. Bhattacharya quotes The Grammar of Gemakandro, which says that the word carvaca comes from root carva, chew: Karvaka chews itself (carvatyātmānaṃ carvaka). Gemakander refers to his own grammatical work, Udisistra 37, which works as follows: Mawaka-Shhomaka-wartaka-jiontaka-gevak-bhadrakadaya. Each of these words ends with the Oka suffix and is formed irregularly. It may also hint at the hedonistic precepts of the philosophy of eating, drinking and having fun. Others believe that this means pleasant speech or pejorative, sweet- language, from the Sanskrit punishment of pleasant and cotton speech (which becomes a wuk in the nominal singular and in the connections). Another hypothesis is that she is the same name, and the founder of the school is Charvaca, a student of Brihaspati. Like Lokayata According to Chattopadhyaya 1992, page 1, the traditional name of Charvaka is Lokayata. It was called Lokayata because it was distributed (ayata) among people (lokesu), and meant the worldview of the people. The dictionary meaning of Lokayata (लोकायत) means aimed at peace, aimed at world peace. In the early to mid-20th century, the literature of Locality's etymology was given different interpretations, in part because primary sources are inaccessible, and was derived from various secondary literature. The name Lokiata, for example, is in Chanakya's Artashastra, which refers to the three nv'k'ik (अवीक, literally, considering for a reason, logical philosophies) - yoga, samhya and lokayat. However, Lokiyata in Arthashastra is not anti-vedic, but implies that Lokayata is part of Vedic knowledge. Lokiyata here refers to the logic or science of debate (disputatio, criticism). Rudolf Franke translated Lokayata into German as logisch beweisende Naturerkl'rung, which is a logically proving explanation of nature. In the 8th century AD Jaina literature, Saddarsanasamuccaya Haribhadra, 31 Lokayata stated that a Hindu school where there is no God, no samsara (rebirth), no karma, no duty, no fruits of merit, no sin. Divyaavadan's Buddhist Sanskrit work (about 200-350 AD) mentions Lokayat, where it is listed among the subjects of the study, and with a sense of technical logical science. Shantarakshita and Adi Shankara use the word locality as materialism, with the latter using the term Lokayata rather than Charwak. In Silāṅka's commentary on Sutra kṛtāṅgna, Jain Agam Prakrt's oldest literature, he used four terms for Kovacs of Visas. (1) Bhasampatya (2) Lokayata (3) Bhatawadin (4) Wamamergin. The origins of Charvaka's atheistic doctrines can be traced back to the relatively later layers of Rigveda, while substantial discussions about Charvac can be found in post-jewish literature. Charvaka's primary literature, such as Brhaspati Sutra, is missing or lost. His theories and development were composed of historical secondary literature, such as those found in shastras (such as Arthashastra), sutras and epics (Mahabharata and Ramayana) of Hinduism, as well as from the dialogues of Gautama Buddha and Jain literature. Substantial discussions about Charvaca's doctrines were held in texts during 600 BC because of the emergence of competing philosophies such as Buddhism and Jainism. Bhattacharya claims that Charvac may have been one of several atheistic, materialistic schools that existed in ancient India in 600 BC Although there is evidence of its development in the Vedic era, Charwaki's philosophical school preceded the Schools of Stick, as well as the philosophical forerunner of subsequent or modern philosophies such as Ajan, Oyivik, Jainism and Buddhism in the classical period of Indian philosophy. The earliest scholar of Charwak in India, whose texts still survive, is Adjita Kesakbali. Although materialistic schools existed before Charvaki, it was the only school that systematized materialistic philosophy, establishing them in the form of aphorisms in the 6th century BC There was a basic text, satra or aphorisms and a few comments were written to explain the aphorisms. This should be seen in the broader context of the oral tradition of Indian philosophy. It was in 600 BC, with the emerging popularity of Buddhism, that ancient schools began to codify and track the details of their philosophy. E.W. Hopkins, in his Ethics of India (1924), argues that Charvaki's philosophy preceded Jainism and Buddhism, referring to the old Urovka or materialist of the 6th century BC. Rhys Davids suggests that lokiyata in 500 BC generally meant scepticism but was not yet organized as a philosophical school. This proves that it has existed for centuries and became a common term by 600 BC His methodology of skepticism is included in Ramayana, Ayodha Kanda, chapter 108, where Jabali tries to convince Ramu to accept the kingdom by using the arguments of n'stika (Rama refutes it in chapter 109): Thus, come to the conclusion that there is nothing for this universe. Give priority to what meets the eye and turn your back on what is beyond our knowledge. (2.108.17) There are alternative theories behind Charvaka's origins. Bhaspati is sometimes referred to as the founder of the philosophy of Charwaki or Lokiyata, although other scholars dispute this. Billington 1997, p. 43 claims that a philosopher named Charvaca lived in the 6th century BC, who developed the premise of this Indian philosophy in the form of
