大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 65.18

65.18

疏「六觸謂觸對」者，即根境識三和所生，能有觸對，故名為觸。《俱舍》頌云「觸六三和生」。觸雖是一，據識分六。小乘有難云：五識根境許同時起，可得三和。意根過去，識居現在，法或未來，何得三和？彼有二釋。一云：意法為因，發識為果，即三和義。二云：意法識三同一觸果，即三和義。上之二釋，不約同世而說三和。若大乘宗，七為意根，俱得同世。然薩婆多離三和外別有觸法，是心所法。若經部師，三和即觸，正順今文。然此六觸，攝之為二：前五名為觸對，意觸名增語觸。觸雖無對，所依眼等是有對故，依主受名。增語是名，名能詮表，增勝於語。眼等五識唯緣青等，不緣青名；意識能緣青等，亦緣於名，從境立名，名增語觸。

In the commentary, "Sixth, contact refers to contactual confrontation": this is produced by the combination of the three—faculty, object, and consciousness—and has the capacity for contactual confrontation, so it is called contact. The Kośa verse states: "The six contacts arise from the combination of the three." Although contact is singular, it is divided into six according to consciousness. The Hīnayāna raises an objection, saying: If the faculty and object of the five consciousnesses are allowed to arise simultaneously, the combination of the three can be obtained. But the mental faculty is past, consciousness resides in the present, and dharmas may be future; how can there be a combination of the three? They have two explanations. One says: The mental faculty and dharmas are the cause, and the generation of consciousness is the fruit; this is the meaning of the combination of the three. The second says: The mental faculty, dharmas, and consciousness share the same single fruit of contact; this is the meaning of the combination of the three. Neither of the above two explanations defines the combination of the three in terms of the same time period. In the Mahāyāna tradition, the seventh [consciousness] is the mental faculty, so they can all share the same time period. However, the Sarvāstivādins hold that apart from the combination of the three, there is a distinct mental factor of contact. According to the Sautrāntikas, the combination of the three itself is contact, which directly accords with the present text. Furthermore, these six contacts are subsumed under two: the first five are called "contactual confrontation," while mental contact is called "contact with designation" (adhivacana-saṃsparśa). Although [mental] contact has no physical confrontation, its support, the eyes and the rest, possesses physical confrontation, so it receives its name based on its support. "Designation" means name; names can express and articulate, surpassing mere speech. The five consciousnesses—eye and the rest—only cognize blue and so forth, but do not cognize the name "blue"; the mental consciousness can cognize blue and so forth, and can also cognize names. Naming it based on its object, it is called "contact with designation."
