【Cāturdiśa】 The *Jing yinyi* states: "The Sanskrit is *cāturdiśa*, which means in the Tang language 'property of the saṅgha of the four directions'. But scribes erroneously called it *zhaoti*, which is translated here as 'offerings to separate rooms'." Some say it means "direct face-to-face offering"; or that the Sanskrit word is *saṅghamālā*, translated here as "face-to-face offering". The *Yinyi* states: "When substance and object appear together, it is called 'facing'; relinquishing one's own to bestow on others is called 'offering'." In the first year of the Shiguang era of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei, when a saṅghārāma was built, the name *zhaoti* was first established.
