For the intended meaning here is this: even when something exists, if something [else] does not arise, then according to you, the former cannot be the cause of the latter—just as visual cognition does not arise even when sound is present, and even when the particular forms of sounds like 'ga' etc. are present, the cognitions supposed to arise from them do not occur—thus [this is] non-apprehension of the pervader.
