And because it is the cause of perception, contact between the sense organ and the object is mentioned by its own name.

Contact between the self and the mind is a cause of perception, inference, analogy, and testimony; contact between the sense organ and the object belongs to perception alone. Thus, it is not shared; because it is not shared, it alone is mentioned. //26
