十六、解名色所攝法。景云：由彼彼處增長可得者，以可增長解其色義，偏據有見之色以釋色義。手塊等觸，即便變壞者，以可變壞解其色義。其餘四蘊乃至四蘊說之為名者，以於諸法施種種名，四蘊依名趣向諸法，從彼所依言說名故，四蘊攝名。依上文中有其二說，如依言說名故求得諸法，依彼四蘊取得諸法，是故四蘊從喻名名，二說四蘊依言說名以取諸法，從彼所依言說名，故四蘊名名。今此義中，當彼後說。泰云：由種種名味句說施設勢力，由種種名味句為四蘊所依，故除五識多分意識於其彼彼所緣境界流轉趣向，多依名味句勢力方能緣境，故說四蘊為名，從所依受稱，五識四蘊雖不依名緣境，從多意識說，皆說之為名也。

Sixteenth, explaining phenomena subsumed under name-and-form. Jing states: "Those that can be found to increase in various places" explains the meaning of "form" through [the sense of] capable of increasing, exclusively relying on form that is visible to explain the meaning of "form." "When contacted by hands, clods of earth, and so forth, it immediately undergoes change and decay" explains the meaning of "form" through [the sense of] being subject to change and decay. From "the remaining four aggregates..." up to "the four aggregates are spoken of as name": because various names are applied to phenomena, and the four aggregates direct themselves toward phenomena based on names, they are named after that on which they rely—verbal designations; hence the four aggregates are subsumed under "name." In the text above there are two explanations: first, just as one seeks and grasps phenomena by relying on verbal designations, one grasps phenomena by relying on those four aggregates, and therefore the four aggregates are named "name" by metaphor; second, the four aggregates rely on verbal designations to grasp phenomena, and from the verbal designations on which they rely, the four aggregates are called "name." In the present context, it corresponds to the latter explanation. Tai states: By the power of the designation through various names, phrases, and sentences, and because various names, phrases, and sentences serve as the support for the four aggregates, therefore, excluding the five consciousnesses, the mental consciousness mostly circulates and directs itself toward its respective cognitive objects; it mostly relies on the power of names, phrases, and sentences before it can cognize objects. Therefore, the four aggregates are said to be "name," receiving their title from that on which they rely. Although the four aggregates of the five consciousnesses do not cognize objects by relying on names, speaking from the perspective of the predominant mental consciousness, all are spoken of as "name."
