N: As I understand, the jhaanafactors have to be developed to
overcome the hindrances and at the moment of access concentration
(upacara) and the moment of attainment (appana) the hindrances
cannot arise, they are temporarily suppressed.

N: The concentration factor of the eightfold Path has as function to
focus on the naama or ruupa that appears at the present moment. It
arises with sammaadi.t.thi and the other factors.
