मेरु
m.
 (-रुः)
1. The sacred mountain Meru, in the centre of the seven
continents, compared to the cup or seed-vessel of the lotus, the
leaves of which are formed by the different Dwipas: its height
is said by the Hindus to be 84, 000 Yojanas, sixteen thousand
of which are below the surface of the earth: the shape is various-
ly described, as square, conical, columnar, spherical, or spiral
and the four faces of it are of various colours, or white towards
the east, yellow to the south, black to the west, and red towards
the north: the river Ganges falls from heaven on its summit,
and flows thence to the surrounding worlds in four streams
the
southern branch is the Ganges of India, the northern running into
Tartary is the Bhadrasomā, the eastern is the Sitā, and the wes-
tern the Chacshu or Oxus: on the summit of Meru BRAHMĀ re-
sides attended and worshipped by the Rishis, Gandharbas, &c.
the regents of the points of the compass occupy the correspond-
ing faces of the mountain, the whole of which consists of gold and
gems: considered in any but a fabulous light, mount Meru
appears to mean the high land of Tartary, immediately to the
north of the Himālaya mountains.
2. The central bead in a rosary.
3. The middle gem in a necklace.
