Vedanānaṁ Phenomena,
samudayañca their arising,
atthaṅgamañca their cessation,
assādañca their flavor,
ādīnavañca their danger
nissaraṇañca and their escape,
yathābhūtaṁ having truly
viditvā understood these,
anupādāvimutto, completely released from attachment to these,
bhikkhave, beggers
Tathāgato. Is one gone thus.
I don’t understand atthaṅgamañca I don’t think, what is it’s definition?

It literally means setting (like a sunset) and is cognate to Sanskrit asta-gamana.
atthaṅgamañca = atthaṃ + gamaṃ + ca
Metaphorically here it means cessation (of sensations).

Yes udaya (rising) is the word most commonly used for the rising sun (sūryodaya = sūrya-udaya).
