Ṛṣabha (Rishabha) was one of the seven svara or sounds. The Ṛṣabha (Rishabha) dhvani or sound was similar to the sonorous Meghamandrasvara or the sound of the dark clouds. In the Mahābhārata (Mahabharata), the Ṛṣabha (Rishabha) dhvani or sound was mentioned many times. In the Droṇa (Drona) Parva, the sound of Pāñcajanya (Panchajanya), the conch of Kṛṣṇa (Krishna), was compared to that of the sonorous Ṛṣabha (Rishabha) dhvani or sound.
