Mallinātha explains the words āpaskārāt by gātramūlamāpaskāram . āpaskārādā mūlāt, when the word would not be apaskāra m., but āpaskāra n. Vallabhachakravartin, however, explains apaskāro jānumūlam, and in the same manner Vallabhabharatasena and Chandraśekhara (the reading of the E. I. H. Ms. No. 79 ayaskāro or apaskaro in the commentary of the two latter being refuted partly by the reading of the verse in other Mss., partly by the metre itself); and Vallabhagaṇi in his comment on the word gātra in Hemach.’s Abhidh. 4. 294. (= v. 1228), after having quoted the verse in question continues: lūnagātrasya cchinnapūrvakāyasya . āpaskārāt . ā jaṅghāmūlāt . apaskāraṃ yāvacchinnasyetyarthaḥ.] E. kṝ with apa, kṛt aff. ghañ and āgama suṭ.

[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.
