 "Aneka vāram" in Sanskrit literally means "for many weeks" or "many times," where "aneka" denotes "numerous" or "many," and "vāram" refers to a "week" or an occurrence.

Breakdown of the Term

Aneka (अनेक)

• or multitude. For example, aneka janāḥ means "many people."

Vāram (वारम्)

• to a specific day in a sequence, or more generally, to repeated

When combined, "aneka vāram" conveys:

Temporal sense: "for many weeks" or "spanning several weeks."

Repetition sense: "many times" or "repeatedly," depending on literary

context.
