The phrases
saṃskāraḥ (संस्कारः) is a compounded thing. It stands as nominative singular, masculine. The line writes it saṃskāro (संस्कारो). vā (वा) is or. It stands as indeclinable.
dravyasya (द्रव्यस्य) is a substance. It stands as genitive singular. parārthatvāt (परार्थत्वात्) is because it is for another's sake. It stands as ablative singular.
Sanskrit in this line
parārthatvāt (परार्थत्वात्) is ablative singular. That ending is the work an English preposition would do. The line writes it saṃskāro (संस्कारो).
