Imaani phalaani aagantvaa mayha.m purato patanti; 'atthi nu kho upari
luddako'ti punappuna ullokento luddaka.m disvaa... ima.m gaatham aaha."
[J.i,173-4]
YP: "These fruits come and fall in front of me; 'there is, yeah?, a little
hunter.' looking out repeatedly, having seen the young hunter... this verse
he said."

aagantvaa is an absolutive. It means having come,
mayha.m is dat. or gen. It means to me or mine.
purato: also means 'before'. Before could be either in time or space as in
English.

atthi = there is
kho: emphatic particle, it makes the 'there is' more like 'there should be.'
upari: above, upari is used here because the fruits fell from above. [more
in the sense of from front].
Witout purato and upari, the senteces do not add up.
Ullekento is to look at, into look for something. In idiomatic English look
out has a different meaning.

134. "Esa bhikkhu, mahaaraaja, Pa.n.davassa puratthato
Nisinno vyagghusabho'va, siiho'va girigabbhare"
But my humble rendering is: "That monk, O great king, is sitting in front of
the mountain Pa.n.dava just like a noble tiger or a lion lying in a cave."

vyagghusabhova is a compund of vyaggha and usabha. The meaning of usabha is
the leading bull, head bull or king bull.
So here king of the vyagghas.
