Sahadeva

सहदेव · sahadeva

Youngest of the five Pandavas; twin of Nakula

The quietest brother made the most exact vow: Shakuni was his.

Sahadeva, Madri's younger twin, is described as the wisest of the brothers and the most reserved. Kunti loved him as her own after Madri's death. In the dice hall he swore to kill Shakuni, the man whose hand had thrown the dice, and on the last day of the war he did. In the year of hiding he looked after King Virata's cattle.
