 (mahākalpa,  m. (= Skt. id.,  Pali mahākappa),  great kalpa: Mvy 〔8291〕
 Dharmas 〔87〕
 see s.v. kalpa 4. Acc. to PTSD,  ‘when kappa stands by itself,  a Mahākappa is understood’. In Pali it is said to be the most inclusive (i.e. the longest) kind of kappa. For some Pali schemes of its relation to other kappas see PTSD and Childers
 for alleged northern Buddhist schemes see LaVallée Poussin,  AbhidhK,  references in Index. In works here included I have noted no precise definition.)
