Durvasa comes to Duryodhana

Janmajeya said - O Sage, Duryodhana was a wicked person, jealous of all good. He thought evil of those who helped him from death. What did Duryodhana do after this? I am interested to hear more.
Vaishmpayana said - The pandavas stayed in the Kamaya forest. They fed the brahmanas in the forest.

Duryodhana felt insulted seeing the Pandavas happy. He said to Karna and Shakuni - How do I defeat the Pandavas? I was insulted by Chitrasen but being rescued the Pandavas is worse. We will have to think of something to finish them off in the twelve years when they live in the forest.

One day Durvasa came to Duryodhana. He had with him ten thousand of his disciples. Duryodhana went and greeted the sage and the disciples and then asked for the reason for visit.
The sage he wanted to see how Duryodhana was prospering.
The sage was pleased to see how Duryodhana was ruling his land and blessed him.

One day Duryodhana called Karna, Dushasana and Shakuni. He said The Pandavas live in the Kamya forest. Draupadi by the grace of the Sun God cooks little which multiplies and thus she is able to feed countless people with that. All get food till Draupadi eats. Once she has had her meal, the vessel is empty. She has a meal in the evening. Let us send Durvasa there in the evening, once she has eaten. Having nothing to eat, the sage with curse the Pandavas. That will be their end and we will be saved.

The next day Duryodhana went to Durvasa and in sweet tones he said he wanted the sage to go and visit the Pandavas in the forest.
