    asaṃkhyeya, (1) adj. (= Skt. id., Pali asaṃkheyya),

    innumerable. In Pali (see Childers s.v. kappo) as an adj.

    applied to kappa (see BHS kalpa), denotes a world-age

    of a certain extent; in some definitions at least, of a

    length intermediate between a mahā- and an antara-k°.

    Acc. to La Vallée Poussin, AbhidhK iii.188, asaṃkhyeya

    kalpa means here le temps que durent un nombre asaṃkhyeya

    (10 à la 59me puissance) de mahākalpas. I have not noted

    the Pali usage in the texts excerpted by me (but see

    Przyluski, Açoka, 408). Typical of their use of this

    adjective with kalpa is SP 17.8 asaṃkhyeyaiḥ kalpair

    asaṃkhyeyatarair vipulair aprameyair acintyair etc., in

    which asaṃkhyeya has its normal Skt. mg. of innumerable;

    (2) nt., a very high number: Mvy 7802; 7932 (cited from

    Gv); Gv 106.20; 134.5; SP 316.7; Sukh 31.2; Divy 245.11

    tribhir asaṃkhyeyair; 246.2; 254.3.
