cārvāka cārvāka, as, m. (fr. cāru + vāka), N. of a Rākṣasa described in the Mahā-bh. Śānti- parva 1414, &c., as a friend of Duryodhana and an enemy of the Pāṇḍavas; (having taken the shape of a mendicant Brāhman, when Yudhiṣṭhira entered Hāstina-pura in triumph, he reviled him and the assembled Brāhmans, but was soon detected; and the real Brāhmans, filled with fury, killed him on the spot); N. of a sophistical philosopher who probably lived before the composition of the Rāmāyaṇa; see jāvāli. He was a sceptic in matters of Hindū faith, and considered by the orthodox as an atheist or materialist; according to some, the sceptical doctrines of the Indian materialists were handed down to Cārvāka and his followers by Vācas-pati or Bṛhaspati, and the aphorisms of Bṛhaspati (Bārhaspatya sūtras) are said to embody their opinions; (as, ī, am), derived from or composed by Cārvāka.
