Dismembered (磔著; the first character has the fanqie 張革 [zh- + -(é)], which according to the sūtra's meaning must be the character for punitive dismemberment [罰磔]; it means exposing someone at the crossroads of the four thoroughfares so that everyone may point at, peck at, and humiliate them; in antiquity it was called the punishment of dismemberment [罰磔]).
