By means of a compound: a difference, and saṃghāta (संघात), cākṣuṣa (चाक्षुष).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Ajīva (अजीव). What is not soul: the media of motion and rest, space, matter, and time. The line is short. bhedāt (भेदात्) from 5.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
