Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryApāṅganetra (अपाङ्गनेत्र).—a. (said of a lady) having eyes with beautiful (or long) outer corners; यदियं पुनरप्यपाङ्ग- नेत्रा परिवृत्तार्धमुखी मयाद्य दृष्टा (yadiyaṃ punarapyapāṅga- netrā parivṛttārdhamukhī mayādya dṛṣṭā) V.1.19. (a better interpretation would however be 'with the eyes turned towards the corners' apāṅgayoḥ prerite netre yayā i. e. casting sidelong looks.)

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Goldstücker Sanskrit-English DictionaryApāṅganetra (अपाङ्गनेत्र):—[bahuvrihi compound] m. f. n.
(-traḥ-trā-tram) 1) With the eyes and outer corners of the eyes; or
2) Having eyes like the god of Love. (The word occurs in a verse of the Vikramorvaśī: yadiyaṃ punarapyapāṅganetrā parivṛttārdhamukhī mayādya dṛṣṭā, which is thus explained by a comm.: parivṛttamardhamukhaṃ yasyā ata eva apāṅgayukte netre yasyā etādṛśī dṛṣṭā . yadvā . apāṅgo madanastattulyake netre yasyāstādṛśī; the former meaning, however, would represent the compound apāṅganetra as an anomaly instead of sāpāṅganetra, while the latter is more natural and in harmony with the context.) E. apāṅga and netra.
[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.
