can anybody please clear my doubt:page 58 chatterjee and dutta says-"...testimony consists of words..so far as words are heard through our ears,they are perceived.knowledge of words is,therefore,knowledge through perception and is quite valid..."does it mean that Carvakas do not reject testimony per se,but the inference of it is rejected?
It means that Charvaka refutes to accept testimony as a separate pramana independent of perception. For Charvaka testimony is subsumed under perception and thus quite valid.Their argument is that testimony should not be given independent status of pramana.
Absolutely wrong! Charvaka does not accept testimony as a pramana. It is not subsumed under perception.
someone plz explain me ONTOLOGY..If possible with example thanks in advance
Ontology is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of existence or reality. For example, Plato's ontology considers ideas as the objective reality. Or for example Heraclitus considers change to be the only reality and does not accept any unchanging/eternal objective reality.

I think ontology basically deals with categorization. Of course, nature of reality is one way to categorise it , but so there can be many other ways.

Look, Charvaka only considers perception as a valid source of knowledge. In this, ears are one of the senses and their power is the sense of hearing. So the words that we hear provide us definitive knowledge. For example, if we hear x saying mangoes are red, the knowledge that we get is- "x said mangoes are red".
Now come to verbal testimony. It only includes words by a reliable person or vedas and charvaka refutes it because trust or reliability is itself based on inference. So if a reliable person x says that mangoes are red, we cannot accept "mangoes are red" as certain knowledge. However, there is no doubt about the fact that "x said mangoes are red" as we percieved it and perception gives us certain knowledge.
