Explanation:

Materialists or Lokayatas are those who believe that everything is not predetermined.Materialist teacher Ajita Kesakambalin says that a human being is made up of the four elements.When he dies the earthy in him returns to the earth, the fluid to water, the heat to fire, the windy to air, and his senses pass into space.The talk of gifts is a doctrine of fools, an empty lie. Fools and wise alike are cut off and perish. They do not survive after death.
