    anucira , adj., continuously or successively long (time):

    read with mss. in Mv i.126.7 nanu anucireṇa kālena

    sarvasattvān parinirvāpayiṣyanti, (if as you say many

    Buddhas all bring countless creatures to nirvāṇa,) in the

    course of continued time they will bring all creatures to it.

    Senart em. acireṇa, in a short time; but the text means

    rather in a sufficiently long time.
