In Profound Praise of the Lotus Sutra (法華玄贊 [fa hua xuan zan]) Vol. 1, it states: "Sat (薩 [sa]) signifies the meaning of true wonder." Sanskrit Miscellaneous Names (梵語雜名 [fan yu za ming]) states: "Miào is Mañju." The end of Record of Esoteric Teachings (秘藏記 [mi cang ji]) states: "Su (蘇 [su]) is Miào."
