Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Goldstücker Sanskrit-English DictionaryAparasaktha (अपरसक्थ):—[tatpurusha compound] n.
(-ktham) (ved.) The part over the thigh (according to Sāyaṇa). [The gender of this word is neuter —comp. Pāṇ. V. 4. 98.—, not masc., as might be inferred from the present publication of so called ‘Extracts’ from Sāyaṇa's comm. on the Śatapathabr., in the passage Iii. 8. 3. 27; for although the Ms. 657 of the E. I. H. is very incorrect, it does not read sakthyo, as has been alleged, but some other mutilated form intended probably for sakthnoḥ; it runs literally thus: ūrvorupari bhūtau uchritāvapavo (sic) sāchryo . (the chya representing in this Ms. the value of thya and the ā-o that of o).] E. apara (see I. 1. 3.) and sakthi, samās. aff. ṭac.
[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.
