Mahabharata
English[Maitreya-śāpa(ḥ)]
(“the curse of Maitreya”). § 315 (Āraṇyak.). Vyāsa said that the ṛshi Maitreya would admonish Duryodhana. Maitreya came, having on a tīrthayātrā arrived at Kurujāṅgala, and having visited Yudhishṭhira in the Kāmyaka wood. As Maitreya advised Duryodhana to make peace with the Pāṇḍavas now that Bhīma had slain Kirmīra, etc., Duryodhana gave him a slight by slapping his thigh and scratching the ground with his foot. Therefore Maitreya cursed him, saying that Bhīma should smash that thigh of his with his mace
this curse, however, should not take effect if he made peace with the Pāṇḍavas. Dhṛtarāshṭra wished to hear about the death of Kirmīra, but Maitreya would not speak again to him, because his words were not regarded by Duryodhana
saying that Vidura would relate it to him, he went away. Duryodhana went out perturbed. (III, 10.)
