Bòshāng 擘傷 (the first character is pronounced bǎi; Zheng's commentary on the Kaogongji states that bò means 'to split or tear open'; the Shuowen jiezi analyzes it as having radical 'hand' (手) and phonetic pì (辟); in the sūtra text it is written with 'knife' (刀) as 劈, which is incorrect; it is pronounced p- + y- [pǐ yì], which does not convey the meaning intended in the sūtra).
