I'm keeping 捺落 visible and tagged as rare since it's in kokugos. That's the usual practice. I wouldn't bother with the others, but they're hidden.

  Comments:
From sanskrit サンスクリットのナラカnaraka, these all seem to be based on phonetic readings.

Quite a lot of kanji trivia here. Someone actually stuck 那落 on a book cover or something though.

捺落 is just a variant/obsolete kanji of 奈落, I can't imagine it's a huge loss even if daijs notes it. Gonna swing for the fences and [sK] it.

When I do an image search for 捺落, I don't actually get 捺落, I get the full form: 捺落迦. Seems like it was a poetry collection long ago too? (nikk).

The JEs have "trap cellar" but that doesn't appear to be a common term.
