Rig Veda 10.28.10

सुपर्ण इत्था नखमा सिषायावरुद्धः परिपदं नसिंहः | निरुद्धश्चिन महिषस्तर्ष्यावान गोधा तस्मायथं कर्षदेतत

IAST Romanisation

suparṇa itthā nakhamā siṣāyāvaruddhaḥ paripadaṃ nasiṃhaḥ | niruddhaścin mahiṣastarṣyāvān ghodhā tasmāayathaṃ karṣadetat

English Translation (Griffith)

There hath the strong-winged eagle left his talon, as a snared lion leaves the trap that caught him. Even the wild steer in his thirst is captured: the leather strap still holds his foot entangled.
