The use of horn is explained in a legend about a king Bhartri (Bhartṛhari). Once his seventy queens urged him to go hunting. While he was away he ran across a herd of seventy hinds and one stag; but was unable to overtake the stag. Finally, a hind asked the stag to allow himself to be shot, and he agreed, on certain conditions, one of which was that his horn should be used for the Yogī’s whistle.¹
