五叉磔（上筞加反鐵叉也下嘲革反廣雅榤開也張也說文辜也從桀石聲桀音竭經云五叉者地獄名也以此鐵叉分磔罪人身形名為五叉地獄）。

Dismemberment by five-pronged forks (五叉磔: the first character is cè + jiā fanqie, an iron fork. The last character is cháo + gé fanqie. The Guangya says: "榤 means opened; stretched out." The Shuowen says: "Execution by tearing apart; it takes the radical 桀 and has 石 as phonetic." 桀 is pronounced jié. In the sūtra 'Five Forks' is the name of a hell; because these iron forks dismember the bodies of sinners, it is named the Five Forks Hell).
