Dear Connie,
Very good of you.
Oh, may others follow now!
I make some comments. but I stand to be corrected! I have to think of ekaka
and nipaata.

N: anga constituent part. uttara: higher. I think it means that the numbers
go up, from Ones, to Twos, etc. Upgrading.
C: Ekakanipaatapaa.li

> eka=1; ka=which;

N: ekaka means single. -ka (and also -ika) is an adjective ending, it makes
a word into an adjective.

C: nipaata=down going [because they're the drag-us-down

> things?

N: It also means a section of a book, I think it is this meaning. I think it
does not suggest any disappearance of texts.

> 1. Eva.m me suta.m-
> thus/to my/hearing-
> Thus I have heard-

N: litterally: sutam: particip of su.naati, to hear. and me: by me. Your
transl is fine.
C: eka.m samaya.m bhagavaa saavatthiya.m viharati jetavane

> anaathapi.n.dikassa aaraame.
> one/time/Fortunate One/Savatthi/lodging/Jetavana (having to do with

N: viharati: to dwell or stay. No suggestion of subduing earth. vana is
grove.

C:>

N: te is demonstrative in plural: those

N: citta.m pariyaadaaya ti.t.thati : this is very interesting. I made a
study of cross references of this expression when doing the Co. to
Mahaaraahulovaadasutta. Here it is:
<manaapaamanaapaa phassaa [desirable and undesirable impressions] citta.m na
pariyaadaaya .thassanti.
Apply yourself to the mental development that is like the earth, Rahula,
For, Rahula, agreeable and disagreeable impressions that have arisen when
you apply yourself to the mental development that is like the earth, will
not persistently overwhelm the mind. >
We discussed this here and came to this translation: persistently overwhelm.
However, this is not the only possibility.

C: Itthiruupa.m, bhikkhave, purisassa citta.m pariyaadaaya ti.t.thatii"ti.

> womanform, /monks/man/thinks/excessively/abides
> The female, monks, man obsesses on.

N: The sight of a woman (here it is visible object, or sight, ruupa.m; later
on comes sound, etc.) persistently obsesses a man.
