6.52

Regarding "with desire": this is defilement. "Desire" refers to the five desires, namely the five dusts of form and so forth; the mind conjoining with desire is named "with [desire]." Furthermore, "desire" refers to greedy desire, which is subsumed under mental factors; mentioning the first includes the rest, meaning it encompasses anger and so forth; the mind associating with greed and so forth is therefore called "with." The former is in terms of association with sense-objects, while this is in terms of association with afflictions; both are defilement.
