Note 11 — Chapter VIII · TOTEMISM AND FETISHISM.
Reading edition
A big stone at Phutaka Tembha near Murud in the Ratnágiri District is worshipped by the people, who believe it to be the monkey god Hanumán or Máruti. All the stone images of gods that are called Swayambhu or self-existent are nothing but rough stones of peculiar shapes. There are such swayambhu—natural-images—at Kelshi and Kolthare in the Ratnágiri District.11
