Aprameyajanman (अप्रमेयजन्मन�) refers to “innumerable lifetimes�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 19).—Accordingly, “[...] This pure generosity extends over innumerable lifetimes (aprameyajanman); it does not disappear from lifetime to lifetime; it is like a contract that never expires. This generosity bears its fruit [when it meets] the complex of conditions (ٲⲹⲹ峾ī) and favorable time (); it is like the tree (ṛkṣa) that, in season, produces leaves (貹ṇa), flowers (ṣp) and fruit (phala); even though the season has not come, the cause (hetu) remains, but there is no fruit�.
