（4）（观察往来的路）「观察往来的路是为了给与（业处的）正当路线」，即是观察去的路及回来的路，因此而得给与业处的正当的路线的意思。

Ñ(VI,59): The reviewing of the path gone by and come by has keeping [the mind] on the track for its purpose: the meaning is that the reviewing of the path gone by and of the path come back by mentioned is for the purpose of keeping properly to the track of the meditation subject.
