Sahadeva (Sanskrit spelling: सहदेव, Sahadeva), or commonly abbreviated Sadewa, is one of the main character in the epic Mahabharata. He is the youngest member of the Pandavas, who has a twin brother named Nakula.
Although the twins, Nakula is said to have a more handsome face than Sadewa, while Sadewa smarter than his brother. Especially in terms of astrology or astronomy, far above the intelligence Sadewa pupils Drona other Rishis. He was also good at cattle science. So when the Pandavas disguised serving for a year in the kingdom of Matsya due to lost playing dice against the Kauravas, Sadewa also chose the role as a cowherd named Tantripala.
Sahadeva was the youngest of the Pandavas, the designations for the five sons of Pandu, King of Hastinapur. And his twin brother Sahadeva, Nakula, born from the womb of the kingdom of Madra princess named Madri (in the puppet called Madrim). Meanwhile, their third brother, that Yudhisthira, Bimasena, and Arjuna was born from the womb of Kunti. Nevertheless, Sadewa recounted as the most beloved son of Kunti.
Nakula and Sahadeva were born as twins named Aswin gods gift to Madri, because Pandu was undergoing the curse could not have intercourse with his wife. Both were born in the jungle when Pandu was living life as a hermit.
