蘇迷盧山（梵語寶山名或云須彌山或云彌樓山皆是梵音聲轉不正也正梵音云蘇迷嚧嚧字轉舌唐妙高山俱舍論云四寶所成東面白銀北面黃金西面頗梨南面青琉璃大論云四寶所成曰妙出過眾山曰高或名妙光山以四色寶光明各異照世故名妙光也）。

Mount Sumeru (蘇迷盧山: in Sanskrit, the name of the jewel mountain. Some call it Mount Xumi [須彌山], and some call it Mount Milou [彌樓山]; these are all corrupt Sanskrit pronunciations and incorrect. The correct Sanskrit sound is *sumeru* (蘇迷嚧), where the character *lu* (嚧) is rolled with the tongue. In the Tang language, it is “Wonderfully High Mountain” (妙高山). The *Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya* states: “It is formed of four jewels: the eastern face is white silver, the northern face is yellow gold, the western face is crystal, and the southern face is lapis lazuli.” The *Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa* states: “Formed of four jewels, it is called ‘wonderful’; surpassing all mountains, it is called ‘high’.” It is also named “Mountain of Wonderful Light” (妙光山), because the radiance of the four-colored jewels differs individually and illuminates the world, hence it is named Wonderful Light).
