11.33
pāratantryaṃ bandhaḥ svātantryaṃ mokṣa iti cārvākapakṣe 'pi svātantryaṃ duḥkhanivṛttiś cet — avivādaḥ/ aiśvaryaṃ cet — sātiśayatayā sadṛkṣatayā ca prekṣāvatāṃ nābhimatam/
Again, if we take the Cārvāka's view "that the only bondage is dependence on another, and therefore independence is the true liberation,"—if by "independence" he means the cessation of pain, we have no need to controvert it. But if he means autocratic power, then no sensible man can concede it, as the very idea of earthly power involves the idea of a capability of being increased and of being equalled.[24]
