Apakrama (अपक्रम) refers to the “declination (of the latitude)”, according to verse 18 of the Lagnaprakaraṇa (lit. “treatise for the computation of the ascendant), an astronomical work in eight chapters dealing with the determination of the ascendant (udayalagna or orient ecliptic point).—Accordingly, “The quotient obtained from dividing the product [of the Rsine] of the declination (apakrama) and the Rsine of the latitude by the Rcosine of the latitude is the earth-sine. They (i.e. scholars) know [the result] from the radius multiplied earth-sine divided by the day-radius converted to an arc to be the ascensional difference”.
