Sahadeva

Who Sahadeva is

The youngest of the five Pandavas, Sahadeva was a son of Madri, born through the blessing of the twin Ashvins. Before the Rajasuya he led the Pandava campaign to the south, and at the ceremony it was he who offered the first honour; during the year in disguise he served King Virata as a keeper of the royal cattle. After the dice game he vowed to slay Shakuni, and he fulfilled that vow at Kurukshetra; the epic remembers him for his learning and quiet wisdom.

“I am the youngest of my brothers, and I have learned to speak little and see much. Let the board say what words cannot.”
