refutation of charvakas

[Veeranarayana Pandurangi]

dear colleagues

I want to know where in Nyaya or other shastras, charvakas are refuted vehemently and on what grounds? I want some references.

CArvAkamatakha.n.danam  is done (mostly indirectly , i.e. without mentioning the name 'cArvAka) in NyAyakusumAnjali , Kha.n.danakha.n.dakhAdya etc and commentaries thereupon .

For example the following verse of CArvAkas is refuted in MahAbhA.sya and MImAmsA (S'AbarabhA.syam etc.) by offering the meaning of the .Rk (.Rgveda 10-106-6)--

trayo vedasya kartAro bha.n.dadhUrtanis'AcarA.h I
jarbhrIturpharItyAdi pa.n.ditAnAm vaca.h sm.rtam II

The .Rk in question --
s.r.nyeva jarbharI turpharItU naitos'eva turpharI parpharIkA I
udanyajeva jemanA maderU tAme jarAyvajiram marAyu II

DharmakIrti in NyAyabindu refutes the argument of CArvAkas that 'vyApti' is not possible to accept and therefore there is no AnumAna --
kAryakAra.nabhAvAdvA svabhAvAdvA niyAmakAt I
avinAbhAvaniyamo dars'anAnna nadars'anAt II

AvinAbhAva (vyApti) can be known thru either kAryakAra.nabhAva or tAdAtmya .

In 6th and 7th Skandhas of BhAgavata the CArvAkas / NAstikas are described as having 'vairabhakti'

All the Astikadars'anas , including the commentaries are refutations of CArvAka as they propose what was unacceptable to the rivals .

Dear Dr. pandurangi, I was long out of station. Otherwise I would have aleady communicated the following to you. One of the best, if not the best, authorities on Charvaka in India is Dr.Ramkrishna Bhattacharya. He may be contacted at "ramkrishna bhattacharya"        <puran...@rediffmail.com> best wishes D.Bhattacharya --- On Fri, 11/2/11, Veeranarayana Pandurangi <veer...@gmail.com> wrote:
