阿僧(阿僧企耶此云無央數數之盡名俱舍論說本數有六十傳失其八無央數是第五十二華嚴經說一百二十數中無數第一百二十數)。

Asaṃ- (阿僧): asaṃkhyeya, translated here as "innumerable" (wu yangshu); the term for an exhaustive number. The Abhidharmakośa-śāstra states that the basic numbers were sixty, of which eight have been lost through transmission; "innumerable" is the fifty-second. The Avataṃsaka-sūtra lists one hundred and twenty numbers, among which "innumerable" is the one hundred and twentieth.
