Dear Dimitry

You provided the following:

"And at 2:365 -
Saavatthi.m upanissaaya yo jetassa kumaarassa vane anaathapi.n.dikena
gahapatinaa aaraamo kaarito, tattha viharati.

upanissaaya - near, in the vicinity." ???

The phrase "Saavatthi.m upanissaaya" is best translated as "replying
on depending on, or counting on Saavatthi".

The phrase "upanissaaya" comes from the verb "upnissayati" (to rely,
to depend).

Upanissayapaccayo - the powerful reliable condiditon.

The verb "Upanisiidati", however, means "to sit closely, near
someone, near something".

(By the way, I do not forget your request sent off-list, please give
me more time.)

With kind regards,

Suan
