50.131

Market stalls (Fanqie: 直 [zh-] + 連 [-ian]. In Sanskrit, avacara; here rendered as 'market stalls'. The Liji states: 'Market stalls are not taxed.' Zheng Xuan says: 'Chan refers to the stalls and sheds for market goods; today's shops in the market are this.' The old rendering 'realm of desire' is incorrect. According to the Sanskrit text, saṃskāra translates as 'conditioned phenomena'; because the name did not match the original, it was rendered as 'market stalls').
