Amutra (अमुत्र) refers to the “future”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 2).—Accordingly, “[Question.—Why do Buddhist sūtras begin with the word evam, ‘thus’?]—[...] Furthermore, the word Evam occurs at the beginning of Buddhist texts. Present happiness (ihalokasukha), future happiness (amutra-sukha), the happiness of Nirvāṇa (nirvāṇasukha), all happiness has its roots (mūla) in very powerful faith”.
