11. It is curious that the anonymously translated Chinese version (Taishō 344) names the prince 和休 (he xiu). Old Chinese phonology (Karlgren 1957) give this as g’ăb χia̯b or similar, whereas Tang dynasty reconstructions (Stimson 1976) would suggest *huɑ*xiou, which approximates the Indic siṃha only if the sequence of syllables is reversed. Assuming the possibility that 和休 is metathesis, 休和 may denote an attempt to transcribe the Prakrit form sīha (Woolner 1912, p. 213), which also means “Lion.”
