[264] **"Even for a multitude of years, O All-Seeing One" (pūgampi vassānaṃ samantacakkhū):** "Even for a multitude of years" (pūgampi vassānaṃ) means even for a multitude of years, that is, for many years, for many hundreds of years, for many thousands of years, for many hundreds of thousands of years, for many hundreds of eons (kappa), for many thousands of eons, for many hundreds of thousands of eons. **"All-Seeing One" (samantacakkhu):** the All-Seeing Eye (samantacakkhu) is a designation for the knowledge of omniscience (sabbaññutañāṇa) … [elided in the Pali] … by that the Tathāgata is the All-Seeing One. Hence, "Even for a multitude of years, O All-Seeing One."
