, among the _Hindoos_. (See Lundy: Monumental Christianity, p. 87.) [199:3] The Cobra, or hooded snake, is a native of the _East Indies_, where it is held as sacred. (See Knight: Anct. Art and Mytho., p. 16, and Fergusson's Tree and Serpent Worship.) [199:4] _Linga_ denotes, in the sectarian worship of the _Hindoos_, the _Phallus_, an emblem of the male or generative power of nature. [199:5] _Iona_, or _Yoni_, is the counterpart of Linga, _i. e._, an emblem of the female generative power. We have seen that these were attached to the effigies of the _Hindoo_ crucified Saviour, Crishna. [199:6] Anacalypsis, vol. ii. p. 130. [199:7] See Lundy: Monumental Christianity, pp. 253, 254, 255.
