> * upajaanaati (v) have knowledge of.
upa should mean "come to", "near", or "firm". Here I would say "came to know"
> * appa.tivaanitaa [PED has appa.tivaa.nitaa] (f) not being hindered,
> non-obstruction, free effort.
I would contrast this word with appa.tivaanii - the former looks to be a bhaava-tadhita formation: appa.tivaanissa bhaavo = appa.tivaanitaa (the state of being one who is unhindered*). This is clear because the phrase "discontentment with good states, and free of obstruction in effort" is syntactically incorrect - I would suggest adding "-dom" to "free".
* Appa.tivaanii (see below) + taa bhaava-tadhita suffix
> Appa.tivaanii sudaaha.m, bhikkhave, padahaami -
> non-hindrance / even I / monks / strive
> O monks, even I strive (for) non-hindrance -
>
> * appa.tivaanii [PED has appa.tivaa.nii] (f) non-hindrance,
> non-restriction, free action.
I can't see how the two can be the same; this one is lacking the bhaava suffix... here it seems to me that appa.tivaanii is a modifier of aha.m. I would rather translate this as:
"Verily, o monks, I strove on free from hindrance"
but I may be wrong :)

kaama.m should be "gladly", I would think...
As for the rest, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest an alternate translation again:
'Gladly, may skin, tendon and bone be all that remains*, may flesh and blood in the body dry up. (That form)** will be the form of one who,*** not having attained those (virtues) which are such as may be attained with manly strength, vigour and energy,**** has effort.
* ava adds some emphasis in the sense of "down"
** add ta.m sa.n.thaana.m
*** here we start with the ya.m ta.m... the ya.m goes with the second ta.m; the first ta.m I translate as "such".
**** here we end the ya.m ta.m

mayha.m can't mean "my"... it is catutthi vibhatti (dative). I think it goes with the tassa:
O monks, for that (one who was) me, sambodhi was attained through vigilance.
Svaha.m is a similar construction.

Sorry, this is clearly not correct...
tumhepi - even you all, bhikkhave - o monks, nacirasseva - after a time verily not long abhi~n~naa - having known especially tad - that brahmacariyapariyosaana.m - complete (pari) and final (o) ending (saana) of the holy life yassatthaaya - for the purpose of which kulaputtaa - sons of (good) families sammadeva - rightly indeed pabbajanti - go forth agaarasmaa - from the home anagaariya.m - to the state of being one without a home (anagaarissa bhaavo = anagaariyaa) sacchikatvaa - having made clear di.t.theva - verily, in visible dhamme - reality viharissatha - will dwell upasampajja - having caused (it) to arise saya.m -yourselves.

Good work... sorry if I've gone to far.
Best Wishes,
