第六俱增語者，第六意觸名增語觸。所以然者？增語是名，名能詮表，增勝於語，故名增語。名是意觸所緣長境，故偏就此名，名增語觸。問：「何故名是意識長境？」答：「謂如眼識但能了青，不了青名。意識了青，亦了青名，故青上名稱之為長，長者餘長也。增語是境，觸是能緣，緣增語故，名增語觸，增語之觸，依主釋也。故論云：『增語觸名就所緣立。』有說意識名為增語，以此意識語為增上，方於境轉，五識不然，是故意識獨名增語。」觸與增語意識相應，名增語觸，故論云：「增語觸名就相應立。」

Regarding "the sixth is together with increased expression": the sixth, mental contact, is called contact of increased expression (adhivacana-saṃsparśa). Why is this so? "Increased expression" is name (nāma). A name can express and designate, surpassing [mere] speech (vāc); therefore it is called "increased expression". A name is the primary extra object cognized by mental contact; thus, specifically referring to this name, it is called "contact of increased expression". Question: "Why is a name the extra object of mental consciousness?" Answer: "For instance, the visual consciousness can only cognize blue, but cannot cognize the name 'blue'. Mental consciousness cognizes blue and also cognizes the name 'blue'. Therefore, the name on top of blue is called 'extra' (or 'surplus'); 'extra' means that which is residual and surplus. Increased expression is the object, and contact is the subject that cognizes it; because it cognizes increased expression, it is called 'contact of increased expression'—the contact of increased expression being a tatpuruṣa compound. Thus the treatise says: 'The name contact of increased expression is established with respect to the intentional object.' Some say that mental consciousness is called increased expression because, with this speech as its predominant condition, mental consciousness operates toward the object, whereas the five [sensory] consciousnesses do not; therefore mental consciousness alone is called increased expression." Contact associated with this mental consciousness of increased expression is called contact of increased expression; thus the treatise says: "The name contact of increased expression is established with respect to association."
