Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

आचार्यैरपि निर्द्दिष्टमीदृक्संक्षेपलक्षणम् ।
ग्राह्यधर्मस्तदंशेन व्याप्तो हेतुरितीदृशम् ॥ १३८५ ॥

ācāryairapi nirddiṣṭamīdṛksaṃkṣepalakṣaṇam |
grāhyadharmastadaṃśena vyāpto heturitīdṛśam || 1385 ||

A similar abbreviated definition has been indicated by our teacher also: who says that ‘the probans exists in the cognisable object and is pervaded by a part of it’.—(1385)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

The following Text shows that there is no incompatibility with the opinion of our Great Teacher:—[see verse 1385 above]

Grāhyadharmaḥ’,—i.e. existing in the cognisable object,—i.e. the object in which the Probandum is sought to be proved; i.e. in the Minor Term.—(1385)
