201.3

na dehādisaṅghātād anyaś cetanaḥ/ kasmāt? viṣayavyavasthānāt/ vyavasthitaviṣayāṇīndriyāṇi, cakṣuṣy asati rūpaṃ na gṛhyate sati ca gṛhyate/ yac ca yasminn asati na bhavati sati bhavati tasya tad iti vijñāyate/

[Objection:] There is no conscious entity other than the aggregate of the body and so on. Why? Because of the restriction of objects. The sense organs have restricted objects: when the eye is absent, color-form is not apprehended, and when it is present, it is apprehended. And that in the absence of which something does not occur, and in the presence of which it occurs, is known to belong to that.
