Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Goldstücker Sanskrit-English DictionaryApacamāna (अपचमान):—[tatpurusha compound] m.
(-naḥ) A man whose mode of life does not allow him to cook for himself; Kullūka names as such the religious student, the religious mendicant, heretics and such like people (‘apacamānā brāhmacāriparivrājakāḥ pāṣaṇḍādayaḥ’); he observes however that the ‘heretics &c.’ are included in the definition by Medhātithi and Govindarāja who impart this bearing to apacamāna in Manu 4. 32, while according to his own opinion the word would rather refer in this passage to the snātaka or initiated householder than to the ‘heretic &c.’—Comp. apaca. E. a neg. and pacamāna.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
