3.24

lolāṃśukasya pavanākulitāṃśukāntaṃ
tvad-dṛṣṭi-hāri mama locana-bāndhavasya |
adhyāsituṃ tava ciraṃ jaghana-sthalasya
paryāptam eva karabhoru maoru-yugmam ||

"For your thighs—the edge of whose garments is stirred by the breeze, / which captivate your gaze, and which are kinsmen to my eyes—to rest upon for long, / the pair of thighs of mine, whose garments are tossed, / is indeed sufficient, O woman with thighs like an elephant's trunk!"

ity atra śliṣṭa-pratyuttareṇa kañcuki-vākyena bhāvino duryodhanoru-bhaṅgasya sūcanena śliṣṭottaraṃ nāma tṛtīyam idaṃ patākā-sthānakam |

Here, by the chamberlain's statement which forms an ambiguous reply, there is an indication of the future breaking of Duryodhana's thighs; hence this is the third dramatic indicator, named ambiguous reply (śliṣṭottara).
