'''6115295232/6103515625''' = {{monzo| 23 6 -14 }}, the '''vishnuzma''' or '''semisuper comma''' of 3.338 cents, is the amount by which seven [[25/24|chromatic semitones]] fall short of a just fourth and also by which fourteen [[5/4|classical major thirds]] miss the [[729/512|pythagorean augmented fourth]]; in other words the interval (4/3)/(25/24)^7.  Tempering it out leads to temperaments of the [[vishnuzmic family]].

== Temperaments ==
Tempering out this comma leads to temperaments of the [[vishnuzmic family]].
 
== Etymology ==
This comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2002 as the ''semisuper comma''<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_5025.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''5-limit comma names'']</ref>. It is yet to be found out how and why the later name ''vishnuzma'' was added.
