Shloka 386
करिष्यति महाभागो श्रुवं चापचितिं मम । 'संन्यासीके वेषमें सब ओर घूमनेवाले प्रवचनकुशल चार्वाकको- यदि मेरी दशा ज्ञात हो जायगी तो वे महाभाग निश्चय ही मेरे वैरका बदला लेंगे
kariṣyati mahābhāgo śruvaṃ cāpacitiṃ mama | saṃnyāsīke veṣameṃ saba ora ghūmanevāle pravacanakuśala cārvākako— yadi mama daśā jñāta ho jāyagī to ve mahābhāga niścaya hī mere vairakā badalā leṅge
Sañjaya berkata: “Orang mulia itu pasti akan memberikan kepadaku kepuasan dan pembalasan yang setimpal. Jika Cārvāka—si petah berpidato yang merantau ke serata tempat dalam rupa seorang pertapa—mengetahui keadaanku, maka tokoh agung itu tentu akan menuntut balas bagi permusuhanku.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical danger of persuasive speech used under disguise: eloquence and religious appearance can be employed to inflame hostility and justify retaliation, reminding readers to judge actions by dharma rather than by outward garb or rhetoric.
Sañjaya speaks of an illustrious person who will repay or satisfy him, and he specifically mentions Cārvāka—an eloquent wanderer in a renunciant’s guise—saying that if Cārvāka learns of Sañjaya’s plight, he will surely seek vengeance connected with enmity.
