Manu's commentator Medhatiti characterizes the nastika as one who, rejecting trascedence and the transcedental effectiveness of sacrifice sates, "there is no (value in) the gift, there is no (value) in the fire offering, there is no other world."
From a paper on the meaning of the word 'nastik'.
From wikipedia, below:
Charvakas considered paradise as "the state in which man lives as he chooses, without control of another", while hell as "the state in which he lives subject to another's rule".
