text:
An asaṃkhyeya (Sanskrit: असंख्येय) is a Buddhist name for the number 10140, or alternatively for the number 10 ( a ⋅ 2 b ) as it is described in the Avatamsaka Sutra. The value of the number is different depending upon the translation. It is 10 ( 5 ⋅ 2 103 ) in the translation of Buddhabhadra, 10 ( 7 ⋅ 2 103 ) in that of Shikshananda and 10 ( 10 ⋅ 2 104 ) in that of Thomas Cleary, who may have made an error in calculation. In these religious traditions, the word has the meaning of 'incalculable'
