¹ The term *svayambhū* (self-existent, self-created) indicates natural objects of worship. Such *svayambhū-liṅgas* are even to this day worshipped at several *tīrthas* of Kāshmīr. Cf. Kalhaṇa's *Rājataraṅgiṇī*, a chronicle of the kings of Kāśmīr translated by M. A. Stein, Vol. I, p. 22 (note 1, 113).
