4.15

vastusāmye cittabhedāt tayor vibhaktaḥ panthāḥ ||

Since perception and desire vary with regard to the same object, mind and object are of different nature.

Swami Vivekananda 1896, Patanjali's Yoga Aphorisms (in Raja-Yoga)

That is, there is an objective world independent of our minds. This is a refutation of Buddhistic Idealism. Since different people look at the same thing differently, it cannot be a mere imagination of any particular individual.
