N: Thanks to Ole for the explanation.
Sa.nkhaara has different meanings depending on the context. San.khaara
dhammas are dhammas, phenomena, that are conditioned. This, I think is the
meaning here in this text. We have to think of the saying: all conditioned
phenomena are impermanent, dukkha, and all dhammas are anattaa (including
nibbaana).

Sa.nkhaarakkhanahda are all cetasikas except feeling and saññaa. Further,
there are still other meanings.

N: Another option: PTS has; it is impossible, it cannot come to pass.
Standpoint is difficult to fit in here, I think.

instead of determination (for sa.nkhaara): phenomenon.

N: should consider any reality (dhamma) as the self. attato is the ablative
of attaa, self. The wrong view of self. This in paralel to niccaa, sukha.
