75.165

磔其 [zhéqí, dismember it]: the first character is pronounced 陟 + 格 fanqie. The Kaosheng says: '磔 means to pull apart or dismember.' The Boya says: 'To kill and tear apart is called 磔.' The Shuowen states that it takes the stone radical (石) with jié (桀) providing the sound. In the sūtra it is written as 桀, which is a vulgar character, pronounced 竭 [jié].
