अपस्कार Tatpur. m. (-रः) The root of the leg or, according
to others, the root of the knee. [In the verse of the Śiśu-
pālabadha 18. 46. Mallinātha explains the words आपस्कारात्
by गात्रमूलमापस्कारम् आपस्कारादा मूलात्, when the
word would not be अपस्कार m., but आपस्कार n. Valla-
bhachakravartin, however, explains अपस्कारो जानुमूलम्,
and in the same manner Vallabhabharatasena and Chandra-
śekhara (the reading of the E. I. H. Ms. No. 79 अयस्कारो
or अपस्करो in the commentary of the two latter being re-
futed partly by the reading of the verse in other Mss., partly
by the metre itself)
and Vallabhagaṇi in his comment on
the word गात्र in Hemach.'s Abhidh. 4. 294. (= v. 1228),
after having quoted the verse in question continues: लून-
गात्रस्य च्छिन्नपूर्वकायस्य आपस्कारात् जङ्घामूलात् अ-
पस्कारं यावच्छिन्नस्येत्यर्थः.] E. कॄ with अप, kṛt aff. घञ्
and āgama सुट्.
