N: natvaana, from namati: an unsual form to me. I found it in PED.
  and this: anagh-uttama-dakkhi.neyya.m,
I have trouble with anagh. uttama: highest.
I also thought at first: buddhima, but it is : budhim assa, of him.

N: another option for leaning on: dependent on?
As to vinichaya: often used in Thai, when investigating a commentary.
Investigating the meaning. They say, come, let us vinichay.
