4.34

[Dharmagupta] Also called Tanmoguoduo; this means "Dharma-secret". Concealment is the meaning of secret; it is also translated as "Dharma-treasury". The Daji jing says: "After my nirvāṇa, my disciples will uphold the Tathāgata's twelve divisions of scriptures, writing, reading, and reciting them, but expounding them upside-down. Because of their upside-down preaching, they will conceal the Dharma-treasury. The person is named Dharmagupta, the Dharma is named the Four-Part [Vinaya], and in the celestial language it is catur-dha."
