(9) MahaaMoha enters



 (MahaaMoha enters followed by his retinue)


MAHAAMOHA- (laughing aloud)
“Aha! These idiots are indeed without control!


{BELIEF IN THE OTHER WORLD IS FOOLISH}

आत्मास्ति देहव्यतिरिक्तमूर्तिर्भोक्ता स लोकान्तरितः फलानां
आशेयमाकाशतरोः प्रसूनात्प्रथीयसः स्वादुफलप्रसूतौ [16]

‘There is ‘AATMAA’ which is different from the body.
It enjoys the fruits of his actions in another world.’
This belief is equal to desiring to eat the tasty fruits
rising out of the flowers of a tree in the sky
which has spread out its roots firmly everywhere.

This world gets cheated by the wicked because of trusting in the reality of objects (Self, other world etc) produced by one’s own imagination.
And so-


{WHO HAS SEEN THE AATMAN?}

यन्नास्त्येव तदस्ति वस्त्विति मृषा जल्पद्भिरेवास्तिकै:
वाचालैर्बहुभिस्तु सत्यवचसो निन्द्याःकृता नास्तिकाः |
हंहो पश्यत तत्त्वतो यदि पुनष्च्छिन्नादितो वर्ष्मणो
दृष्टः किं परिणामरूपितचितेर्जीवः पृथक्कैरपि [17]

Prattling falsely that what is not there is there as a reality,
 all these loquacious men who believe in a God,
 have always criticized the non-believers who speak the truth.
Hmmm! Analyze the truth!  
Has anyone seen a conscious entity, the ‘Jeeva’ having a complete transformation and rise out separately from this body when it is cut into pieces?

Not only the world, but these idiots cheat themselves too! As it is-


{DO WHAT YOU WANT! DO NOT BOTHER ABOUT ETHICS!}

तुल्यत्वे वपुषाम् मुखाद्यवयवैर्वर्णक्रमः कीदृशो
योषेयं वसु चापरस्य तदमुं भेदं न विद्मो वयं |
हिम्सायामथवा यथेष्टगमने स्त्रीणां परस्वग्रहे
कार्याकार्यविचारणा हि यदमी निष्पौरुषाः कुर्वते [18]

When the limbs like face etc of the all the bodies look alike,
 then where comes the question of caste-division?
We do not understand the difference made between the female and the land
as one’s own and the other’s!
Only these unmanly ones ponder about the ‘do’s and ‘don’ts of actions
when hurting (animals for eating)
or enjoying a woman (whoever and wherever)
or swindling others of their money.


(thinking) (proudly)
By all ways ‘Lokaayata’ is the right scripture. As it says, whatever is perceived directly through the senses alone is valid. Earth, water, fire, and wind (four elements) alone are the principles that exist. Wealth and passion are the goals a man should pursue in life. Only the elements modify and become intelligence. There is no world that can be reached after death. Death is the final beatitude. These truths favored by us have been treatised by Vaachaspati (Guru) and have been presented to the Chaarvaakas. The same doctrine has passed from disciple to disciple and has spread out everywhere in the world.”
