General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: BuddhismMadhya (मधà¥à¤¯, “hundred-millionâ€�) is the ninth of sixty digits (decimal place) in an special enumeration system mentioned by Vasubandhu in his AbhidharmakoÅ›a (“treasury of knowledgeâ€�). The explanations of the measure of years, eons, and so forth must be comprehended through calculation based on a numerical system. Enumeration begins from one and increases by a factor of ten for each shift in decimal place. The sixtieth number in this series is called “countlessâ€�.
Among these decimal positions (e.g., madhya, “hundred-million�), the first nine positions from one to one hundred million are called �single set enumeration�. From a billion up to, but not including countless is “the enumeration of the great companion� and is called the �recurring enumeration�.
