Yogasūtra II.22- kṛta-arthaṁ prati naṣṭam-api-anaṣṭaṁ tad-anya-sādhāraṇatvāt

Does this mean that without a perceiver, the objects of perception do not exist?

Once the purpose [of Prakṛti] is fulfilled [for the Seer’s benefit], it is not destroyed, because it continues to exist for others.

Something may have a purpose, but once that purpose is fulfilled, the thing still exists and is then available to fulfil a different purpose. For instance, we need our car only when we drive. When we are not driving it, others can use it. If the guest does not turn up to eat the dinner we have prepared, someone else can eat it. Pataïjali reminds us that Prakṛti can serve many Puruṣa-s and is not exclusive to one master.
