____
N: paritassanaa : worry
dhammasamuppaadaa: a compound: the arisings (samuppaadaa) of dhammas, mental
objects.
Uppaada can stay untranslated, just as cittupaada translated as citta. It
shows the actuality of the citta that has arisen.
In the compound only the stem dhamma is used, no declination. As explained
in Warder.
I had: There is disturbance for him born of the alteration of visible
object; mental objects persist in obsessing his mind.
So I made the sentence into two parts. Let us see what others say, I stand
to be corrected.
Nina.
