    aparasaktha Tatpur. 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 incor-

    rect, 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.
