53.103

Iron pincers (鐵鉆: the second character is jiǎn + yán fanqie. The Shuowen says: "鉆 means pincers (鋷); it takes the radical 金 and has 占 as phonetic." 鋷 is pronounced nǚ + zhé fanqie. In the sūtra written with 甘 as 鉗, which is not the proper form; [鉆] is the orthodox form both ancient and modern).
