        ~These are the dhamma which which have magga as predominant factor.

        Leaving aside the predominating investigative knowledge of one who has cultivated that knowledge and has attained Ariya Magga, there are the aggregate of Sensation, the aggregate of Perception, the aggregate of Volitional Activities and the aggregate of Consciousness which are associated with the investigative knowledge.
        ~These are the dhamma which have magga as predominant factor.

       
        (iii)  (1429).    What are the dhamma which have the Path as their object?
       
        There are:  four meritorious thoughts of the Sensuous Sphere associated with wisdom;  and four types of non-causative action of the Sensuous Sphere associated with wisdom.
        ~These are the dhamma that sometimes have the Path as their object, but do not have the Path as the root cause;  sometimes they are predominated by the Path.  Sometimes they should not be taken as the dhamma which have the Path as their object, or as those which are predominated by the Path.
       
        The four Ariya Paths do not have the Path as their object, but have have the Path as the root cause;  they are sometimes predominated by the Path.  They should not be taken as dhamma which are sometimes predominated by the path.
