Meaning of Vrisasana 'Vrisha' means bull in Sanskrit and the "Vrisasana" putatively resembles a seated bull. Vrisasana is called the bull pose probably because it reminds one of the seats of Nandi, the bull of Shiva, or, may be due to its influence on the sex organs it is interpreted as bull-pose representing masculinity and sexual control.

Its first mention and description was in the Gheranda Samhita, a significant Yoga manual in the Hatha Yoga canon, although it is now a well known pose.
