'Death as Mokṣa' is uphold by :

  • A.Sāṁkhyas
  • B.Jainas
  • C.Bauddhas
  • D.Cārvākas

Answer: D

'Death as moksa' is the view of the Carvakas.

The Carvaka materialists accept only perception as a means of knowledge and deny any soul that survives the body. Consciousness arises from the combination of the four elements and ends when the body dies. Since there is no rebirth and no other world, the only liberation they allow is death itself, the end of life and with it of pain. Their aphorism holds that once the body is reduced to ashes there is no return.

The Samkhyas, Jainas and Bauddhas all hold that liberation is attained in this life or after it through knowledge and discipline, as kaivalya or nirvana, which death alone does not bring.
