Sakaino compares biographical records in LDSBJ for Dharmaruci 曇摩流支 and Dharmaruci 達摩流支 (who was ascribed with a 婆羅門天文 in twenty juan, apparently not extant) in XGSZ. Based on this comparison, Sakaino claims that probably the first Dharmaruci 曇摩流支 was created out of confusion about the second Dharmaruci 達摩流支, and hence it should be doubted that the Dharmaruci with the orthography 曇摩流支 translated any scriptures.

Sakaino states that Fajing’s catalogue 法經錄 contains a number of entries evincing confusion between Bodhiruci 菩提流支 and *Prajnāruci 般若流支. Sakaino quotes LDSBJ discussing this confusion (T2034 [XLIX], 87a11-15). Sakaino adds that Dharmaruci 曇摩流支 was also included in this confusion, due to the element流支 –ruci, shared between all the names. For example, the Jinse wang jing 金色王經 (T162 ascribed to *Prajnāruci) is listed in Fajing with a note saying “translated by Ruci” 留支譯, apparently mistaking it as Bodhiruci’s work. In LDSBJ, this Jinse wang jing is not listed as Bodhiruci’s work, but listed among both the works of *Prajnāruci and those of Dharmaruci, with a note to that ascribed to Dharmaruci stating 法上錄云菩提流支後更重勘. KYL records the same. Sakaino claims that those records indicate that the Fashang catalogue 法上錄 listed a Jinse wang jing ascribed to Bodhiruci, stating 菩提流支再勘譯出, but Fei ascribed the title to the two other “Rucis” 流支, even while he copied over Fashang’s note.

Sakaino lists the following five titles that are ascribed to Bodhiruci in Fajing but not in LDSBJ (Sakaino states that the ascriptions in Fajing are written simply 流支, but Sakaino tentatively assumes that it means Bodhiruci): 如來莊嚴智慧光明入一切佛境界經 [如來莊嚴智慧光明入一切諸佛境界經 T357 ascribed to *Dharmaruci], 如來師子吼經 co-translated with *Buddhaśānta (T835 ascribed to *Buddhaśānta), 聖善住意天子所問經 (T341, presently ascribed to *Vimokṣa Prajñārṣi and *Prajñāruci), 信力入印法門經 (T305 ascribed to Dharmaruci), and T162 (discussed above).

In LDSBJ, ascriptions are given to the same five titles as follows: the T357, the T305 and T162 are ascribed to Dharmaruci; T835 is ascribed to *Buddhaśānta; and T341 is ascribed to *Prajnāruci.
