Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.28.10

RV 10.28.10

सुपर्ण इत्था नखम् आ सिषायावरुद्धः परिपदं न सिंहः । निरुद्धश् चिन् महिषस् तर्ष्यावान् गोधा तस्मा अयथं कर्षद् एतत् ॥

suparṇa itthā nakham ā siṣāyāvaruddhaḥ paripadaṃ na siṃhaḥ | niruddhaś cin mahiṣas tarṣyāvān godhā tasmā ayathaṃ karṣad etat ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

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.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
