Maitreya Admonishes Duryodhana and Curses HimCh. 308
Maitreya arrives, is honored by Dhritarashtra, and turns to Duryodhana with a plea for peace — recounting Bhima's feats against rakshasas and Jarasandha. Duryodhana ignores him, smiling and drawing patterns on the ground with his feet. Maitreya's curse follows: Bhima will smash Duryodhana's thigh in the coming war.
