द्रष्टुर्दृश्यस्य सत्ताङ्ग बन्ध इत्यभिधीयते ।
द्रष्टा दृश्यबलाद्बद्धो दृश्याभावे विमुच्यते ॥ २२ ॥

draṣṭurdṛśyasya sattāṅga bandha ityabhidhīyate |
draṣṭā dṛśyabalādbaddho dṛśyābhāve vimucyate || 22 ||

The intimate relation of the spectator with the spectacle is called his bondage to the same, because the looker's mind is fast bound to the object of his sight. It is the absence of the visible objects, therefore, from the mirror of the mind, which is the only means of his liberation.
