Kindly advise. meroH daxiNe pArSve means on the south side of meru. All regions on earth are on the south side of meru. This is a spatial reference. Please see the below link for an explanation why all regions are on the south side of meru. http://www.kamakoti.org/hindudharma/part10/chap8.htm <begin quote> If there is a place above the North Pole it must be Meru where we have our svarga or paradise. Let us imagine that this earth is a lemon. A spot on its top is the Meru peak. In relation to that spot any other part of the fruit is south. Where can you go from there, east or west? You can go only south. You will learn this if you mark a point on the top of the lemon. For all countries of the earth, for all "varsas", north is Meru. "Sarvesamapi varsanam Meruruttaratahsthitah.
