The name (and its derivatives: Tamil vīṇai; New Indo-Aryan bīṇā, bīṇ, etc.) has been used for almost three millennia to denote the main type of the age: the musical bow; the early harps; the short lute; the medieval stick or tube zithers; bowed chordophones; and various descendants of the above in the contexts of both traditional music and Hindustani and Karnatak traditions, including the modern South Indian vīṇā, a lute. The bīṇ is sometimes known as the rudra vīṇā (the vīṇā of the ascetic god, Śiva, the great yogi))
