Dear Nina and Jon,

This is how I would proceed: juuta-ppamaada-.t.thaana-anuyoga = indulgence
(anuyoga) in the state (.thaana) of gambling (juuta) and
heedlessness/heedless living (pamaada). The trsl can then be improved by
dropping "the state of".
(1) .thaana gives something like an abstract or collective meaning to a
word/words preceding it. See PTSD s.v. .thaana. It comes from IE st(h)aa, as
does English 'state'.
(2) In translating a long compound, I have found that it helps to begin from
the end and work backwards. Thus anuyoga -> .thaana-> juuta-ppamaada (
dvandva cpd which can be treated as a unit).
