Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryApaghana (अपघन).—[apahanyate saṃhatya karma kṛtvā viyujyate, han-ap-ghanādeśaḥ P.III.3.77]. A limb or member of the body, as a hand or foot (cf. aṅga pratīko'vayavo'paghano'tha kalevaram |) (apaghano'- ṅgam III.3.81; aṅgaṃ śarīrāvayavaḥ sa ca na sarvaṃ kiṃ tu pāṇiḥ pādaścetyāhuḥ Sk. and Kāśikā); but it is also used in the sense of 'the body'; लौहोद्घनघनस्कन्धा ललितापघनां स्त्रियम् (lauhodghanaghanaskandhā lalitāpaghanāṃ striyam) Bhaṭṭikāvya 7.62 (where the commentators take apaghana to mean the body itself). -a. Free from the obstruction of clouds; cloudless.
Derivable forms: apaghanaḥ (अपघनः).

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Goldstücker Sanskrit-English DictionaryApaghana (अपघन):—[tatpurusha compound] m.
(-naḥ) Any limb or member of the body, as hands, feet &c. (but not the whole body, as the Kāśikā explicitely observes on Pāṇ. Iii. 3. 81.: apaghanoṅgāvayavaikadeśo na sarvaḥ . kiṃ tarhi pāṇiḥ pādaścābhidhīyate; hence also the commentators on the Amarak. explain the word either hastādyavayava or hastapādādyavayava or hastapādādyaṅga &c. Yet Bharatasena on the Bhaṭṭik. 7. 62. not merely renders lalitāpaghanāṃ = manoharaśarīrāṃ (striyam), (equally so the Vaijayantī and Kalāpapradīpa; the Bhaṭṭichandrikā = sundarakalevarīm), but quotes the opinion of another: apahanyate nenetyapaghano dehaḥ, according to which apaghana would therefore mean ‘body’ in general; this interpretation, however, seems to be incorrect on account of the negative bearing of the preposition apa; comp. saṃhanana and the words of the Bhāg. Pur. dehastu sarvasaṃghātaḥ). E. han with apa, kṛt aff. ap.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
