incalculably large number
Buddhist term for a number so vast it cannot be counted; originally from Sanskrit 'asamkhya'. Used in sutras and philosophical contexts.
from Sanskrit asamkhya
10^56 (or 10^64)
In some traditional Japanese numerical systems, 阿僧祇 is assigned a specific value, either 10^56 or 10^64, though this usage is rare and mainly of historical interest.
In Buddhist scriptures, an unimaginably large number called 阿僧祇 appears.
In the Jinkōki, 阿僧祇 is defined as 10 to the 56th power.
無量大数 is a later, even larger number in the traditional Japanese system, sometimes placed above 阿僧祇.
Borrowed from Sanskrit 'asamkhya' (असंख्य), meaning 'innumerable' or 'countless', via Chinese Buddhist texts.
