Analayaviyuha, name of a kalpa occurring in a list of kalpas in the Gandavyuha Sutra. Here is given a list of kalpas along with a list of Buddhas said to have been born in each kalpas, and Analayaviyuha is one of them, during which period 26 million Buddhas said to have been born.
A kalpa is a measurement of time in Buddhist cosmology, and is also consider as an era – a period of 4.320,000,000 (4.32 billion) human years.
Mankind is about 2,000,000 (2 million) human years old. Thus, the 26 million Buddhas were borned in other world systems from a past kalpa. According to the Buddha (our historical human Buddha - Sakyamuni Buddha) there are 10,000 world systems in the universe.
Our world is just a grain of sand on the riverbank of Ganges when comparing to the universe.
