84.2
na cāsaṃyukte dravye saṃyogajanyasya guṇasyotpattir iti jñānotpattidarśanād ātmamanaḥsannikarṣaḥ kāraṇam/
And a quality produced by conjunction does not arise in an unconjoined substance; therefore, because the arising of knowledge is observed, the contact of the self and the mind is a cause.
84.3
manaḥsannikarṣānapekṣasya cendriyārthasannikarṣasya jñānakāraṇatve yugapad utpadyeran buddhaya iti manaḥsannikarṣo 'pi kāraṇam/ tad idaṃ sūtraṃ purastāt kṛtabhāṣyam/
And if contact of the sense organ and the object independent of contact with the mind were the cause of knowledge, cognitions would arise simultaneously; therefore contact with the mind is also a cause. This sūtra has already been commented upon previously.
84.4
nātmamanasoḥ sannikarṣābhāve pratyakṣotpattiḥ ||
In the absence of contact between the self and the mind, perception does not arise.
84.5
ātmamanasoḥ sannikarṣābhāve notpadyate pratyakṣam indriyārthasannikarṣābhāvavad iti//22//
In the absence of contact between the self and the mind, perception does not arise, just as in the absence of contact between the sense organ and the object. //22
