Detailed explanation-1: -Charvakas rejected many of the standard religious conceptions of Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Ajivakas, such as an afterlife, reincarnation, samsara, karma and religious rites.
Detailed explanation-2: -(a) Carvaka: There are six valid sources of knowledge accepted by the different schools of Indian philosophy. ADVERTISEMENTS: These are perception, inference, comparison, verbal testimony, postulation and non-perception.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to Carvakas, perception (Pratyaksa) is the only source of valid knowledge and they hold that nothing exists except what is perceived by five senses. Accordingly, they refuted inference (anumana) and testimony (sabdha), which are accepted by almost all other schools of Indian philosophy as valid and reliable.
