Bhashya

स्पर्शरूपेण गृह्यते तच्चक्षुषैव, दृढप्रतीतिकरत्वात्त्वच, अविनाभूतत्वाच्च रूपस्पर्शयो ॥

In plain words

It is grasped through form and touch—by the eye indeed, because sight yields firm conviction, and through the skin as well, owing to the inseparable bond between form and touch.

Close to the Sanskrit

It is apprehended through form and touch, by the eye indeed, because of making firm conviction, by the skin also, and because of the inseparable connection of form and touch.
