Under the assumption that , the limit along any line through the origin does not exist because becomes unbounded. Hence, the bivariate limit at the origin does not exist.
Alternatively, access Maple's bivariate limit through the Context Panel.

Maple's declaration that the limit is undefined is equivalent to the more prevalent statement that the limit does not exist.
