== Etymology == Etymologically, 'meru' in [[Sanskrit]] means "high." The proper name of the mountain is ''Meru'' (Sanskrit: ''Meruparvata''), to which the approbatory prefix ''su-'' is added, resulting in the meaning "excellent Mount Meru" or "sublime Mount Meru".<ref>{{Cite book|title=The circle of bliss : Buddhist meditational art|last=C.|first=Huntington, John|date=2003|publisher=Serindia Publications|others=Bangdel, Dina., Thurman, Robert A.
