सिंहवीर्यवशाल्लब्धं मांसं भुङ्क्तेऽनुगो हरेः ।
चिद्वीर्यवशतः प्राप्तं दृश्यमाश्रयते मनः ॥ ४८ ॥

siṃhavīryavaśāllabdhaṃ māṃsaṃ bhuṅkte'nugo hareḥ |
cidvīryavaśataḥ prāptaṃ dṛśyamāśrayate manaḥ || 48 ||

As the servile band of the lion feeds on the flesh acquired by his prowess, so the mind dwells upon the visible and sensible object, which it perceives by power of the intellect.
