Vinigraha (विनिग्रह) refers to “capturing (a big quarry/prey)” (of a hawk), 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, [while discussing the black-eyed division of hawks]: “[...] Like servants they become serviceable if their expectations are raised, and if they are rewarded according to their deserts. This class is quick to hear a distant call, to fall on distant prey and capture (vinigraha) big quarry. The second class will now be treated of. [...]”.
