Viśrambha (विश्रम्भ) refers to “relying (on one’s horse)” (during hunting), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “Hunting on horseback (āśvina) represents one of the eight subdivisions of Hunting (mṛgayā). [...] Five or six horsemen are quite enough for hunting rhinoceros. [...] If it turns back, then the horseman relying (viśrambha) on the dexterity of his horse should at once run in its front; others should hit it from behind or skilled archers should pierce it with arrows on the sides. [...]”.
