Question

The Charvaka school did not believe in the existence of this concept, whose types were analogized to arrows in a quiver, mid-flight, and pre-fire by the Samkhya school. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this concept that is important in Hinduism and Buddhism and central to the “yoga of action,” one of the Three Yogas alongside bhakti (“BUCK-tee”) and jñāna (“G’YAH-nuh”).

ANSWER: karma [accept karma yoga or karma marga]

[10h] According to the Charvaka school, all truths lacking conditions are uncertain, as they cannot be proven via this phenomenon. Mind and mental processes make up one of the six āyatana (“EYE-uh-tuh-nuh”) dyads in the laukika (“LAU-kick-uh”) type of this faculty.

ANSWER: pratyaksha (“prutt-YUCK-shuh”) [or perception; or experience; or sensation; or sense; accept laukika pratyaksha or ordinary perception]

[10e] The Charvaka school held pratakshya, or perception, as a pramāna, or “source” of this concept. The Sanskrit word jñāna refers to this concept, which is studied in epistemology.

ANSWER: knowledge
