(It is the same as भग्नप्रक्रमता (bhagnaprakramatā) mentioned in K. P.7, the break of symmetry being either in expresion or construction; नाथे निशाया नियतेर्नियोगादस्तं गते हन्त निशापि याता (nāthe niśāyā niyaterniyogādastaṃ gate hanta niśāpi yātā) is an instance of the former, where गता निशापि (gatā niśāpi) would relieve the irregularity of expression; and विश्रब्धं क्रियतां वराहततिभिर्मुस्ताक्षतिः पल्वले (viśrabdhaṃ kriyatāṃ varāhatatibhirmustākṣatiḥ palvale) is an instance of the latter, where the symmetry of the verse requires the active instead of the passive construction, and the fault may be removed by reading the line as विश्रब्धा रचयन्तु शूकरवरा मुस्ताक्षतिं पल्वले (viśrabdhā racayantu śūkaravarā mustākṣatiṃ palvale); see K. P.7 under भग्नप्रक्रमता (bhagnaprakramatā) for further datails.

[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.
