Vaishampayana said : Hearing that they (the Pandavas) are living in the forest as in a city, the great king Duryodhana with Karna, Dushashana and others longed to do them harm. When those wicked men were concerting various evil designs, the virtuous and the celebrated ascetic Durvasa, wandering about at will, came to the city of the Kurus with ten thousand disciples.
वैशम्पायन उवाच श्रुत्वा तेषां तथा वृत्तिं नगरे वसतामिव। दुर्योधनो महाराज तेषु पापमरोचयत्॥ तथा तैनिकृतिप्रज्ञैः कर्णदुःशासनादिभिः। नानोपायैरघं तेषु चिन्तयत्सु दुरात्मसु॥ अभ्यागच्छत् स धर्मात्मा तपस्वी सुमहायशाः। शिष्यायुतसमोपेतो दुर्वासा नाम कामतः॥
