Verse 535

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ५३५ ॥

In plain words

People call this body a person; and the person is just what one means by one's own self. So the Cārvāka settles it: this body, and nothing else, is the Self.

Close to the Sanskrit

Ordinary speech declares personhood of this (body); one's own self is indeed the person; therefore, 'this body alone is the Self' — thus has it been settled by the Cārvāka.
