असंख्यय (asaMkhyaya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? asaṃkhyaya, adj., innumerable, occurs repeatedly (instead of regular asaṃkhyeya) in mss. of LV, and is sometimes adopted by Lefm. in the text: 〔86.15〕 (vv.ll. asaṃkhya, asaṃkhyeya)
〔112.4〕 (with most mss., v.l. °khyeya). Weller 〔23〕 would read asaṃkhyeya always, perhaps rightly
but the frequent occurrence of °khyaya in the mss. is strange. Like Weller I am unable to understand the long ā in asaṃkhyayā-kalpakoṭi- 〔86.15〕
probably read °ya- as in 〔112.4〕. Instr. of a-saṃkhyā unlikely.
