The Avatamsaka Sutra (sometimes called the Flower Garland Sutra) is one of the better-known Buddhist scriptures. In the 30th chapter, the Buddha teaches a king the concept of large numbers. The Buddha begins by calculating: 1010 * 1010 = 1020 1020 * 1020 = 1040 1040 * 1040 = 1080 1080 * 1080 = 10160 10160 * 10160 = 10320 ... He continues until 10101,493,392,610,318,652,755,325,638,410,240, at which he states, "that number squared is an incalculable." The Buddha then names the following: The "Untold" number is between the first Skewes number and a Dakillion.
