Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraKrayavikraya (क्रयविक्रय) refers to �(the rules of) commerce�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 2).—Accordingly, “[Question.—Why do the Buddhist ūٰ begin with the words: ‘Thus have I heard�?]—[...] Although the disciples of the Buddha understood the non-existence of self (ٳ), they conform to current usage (ṃvṛt) and speak of a self (ٳ). But this ٳ is not a true Ātman. Thus there is nothing ridiculous in exchanging copper coins (峾ṣāpṇa) for gold coins (ܱṇaṣāpṇa). Why? Because the rules of commerce (krayavikraya-dharma) demand it. It is the same when we speak of ٳ. In a system [that sets up the thesis of] the Anٳ, we can talk about the Ātman; by conforming to current usage (ǰ첹ṃvṛt), we do not incur any blame. [...]�.
