That wicked wretch (Duryodhana) did not speak a word, but he hung down his head. O king, seeing Duryodhana thus offer an insult to him by silently scratching the earth (by his foot), Maitreya became angry. That best of Rishis, Maitreya, overwhelmed with anger.
न किंचिदुक्त्वा दुर्मेधास्तस्थौ किंचिदवाङ्मुखः तमशुश्रूषमाणं तु विलिखन्तं वसुंधराम्॥ दृष्ट्वा दुर्योधनं राजन् मैत्रेयं कोप आविशत्। स कोपवशमापनो मैत्रेयो मुनिसत्तमः॥
