Vaishampayana said : O king, having been thus addressed by Maitreya, Duryodhana slapped his thigh which resembled the trunk of an elephant and he then smilingly began to scratch the ground with his foot.
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवं तु ब्रुवतस्तस्य मैत्रेयस्य विशाम्पते॥ ऊरूं गजकराकारं करेणाभिजधान सः। दुर्योधनः स्मितं कृत्वा चरणेनोल्लिखन् महीम्॥
