三膲 (Pronounced with the fanqie 子遙 [jiāo]. The Bohu tong states: 'Among the six bowels there is the triple burner, which is the repository of the kidneys. The kidneys govern discharge, and the triple burner is also used to gather bodily fluids and expel waste. The upper burner is like a mist, the middle burner is like a froth, and the lower burner is like a ditch.' The sūtra text writes it as 焦, meaning scorched remains; 焦 is not the correct character).
