1.66

The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says *Gushīma, and the Mahīśāsaka Vinaya says *Umā. I, Iṣ, and U—these three sounds are close. Deducing from phonetics, I humbly think that *Iṣīma is correct. It is merely that the characters gu (鼓) and yi (懿) are similar, so scribal transmission mistakenly made it gu.
