Just before moving towards to know about “Sahadeva information (story, facts, secrets, special powers, characteristics, greatness) | What was Sahadeva famous for? | Can Sahdev see the future? | Who was the father of Sahadeva? | What are the unknown facts about Sahadeva? | Why did Sahadeva fall?“, let us know few basic and important information.

First Let us know the meaning of the name Sahadeva: Sahadeva = Saha + Deva, here Saha means a supporter and Deva means a Devata / Demigod, here it is Ashvini Kumara (Kumar). 

Thus Sahadeva means, someone who is always supportive, especially to his elder brothers starting from Yudhisthira, Bhima, Arjuna and Nakula.

Sahadeva wives names are : Draupadi and Vijaya. | Sahadeva parents names are : King Pandu and Madri. Kunti was a foster mother to Sahadeva and Nakula. Position of Sahadeva : Sahadeva had a prominent place among the five Pandavas. After the war he was made the king of Madra.

Sahadeva weapon name is : Parashu and Sword. Sahadeva siblings names are : Karna, Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna and Nakula. Sahadeva children names are : Shrutasena (son) by Draupadi, Suhotra (son) by Vijaya and Daughter Sumitra. Sahadeva home is : Hastinapura or Hastinavati (Kuru Dynasty) and Madra.

How Sahadeva is related to Lord Krishna : King Shurasena and Queen Marisha’s children were Vasudeva [Lord Krishna’s father Vasudeva (वसुदेव)], Samudravijaya (son) and Pritha (Also called as Kunti) (daughter). Thus both Vasudeva (वसुदेव) and Kunti were brother and sister in relation. Consequently, Lord Krishna is a maternal cousin of Sahadeva.

Different names of Sahadeva are as given below with meanings of each name:

Ashvineya (अश्विनेय) : As Sahadeva was an avatar of the Ashvini Kumaras, he is also called as Ashvineya. Originally as Ashvini Kumara (Kumar), Sahadeva is called as Dasra.

Mādravatīputra (माद्रवतीपुत्र), Mādravatīsuta ( माद्रवतीसुत), Mādreya (माद्रेय), Mādrinandana (माद्रिनन्दन), Mādrinandanaka ( माद्रीनन्दनक), Mādrīputra ( माद्रीपुत्र), Mādrīsuta ( माद्रीसुत), Mādrītanūja (माद्रीतानुज) : Sahadeva was the son of Madri and thus all these names means son of mother Madri.

Panduputra (पाण्डुपुत्र) or Pandunandana (पाण्डुनन्दन) : Sahadeva was the son of King Pandu and he is also known as Panduputra or Pandunandana. He one of the loving child to King Pandu and Mother Madri. Similarly, Kunti and all his other brothers loved Sahadeva very much.

Tantripala (तन्त्रिपाल) : During the incognito exile (Agyatvas), that is, in the 13th year of the forest exile, Sahadeva was named as Tantripala. During this period Sahadeva was working as a Cowherd in the Kingdom of King Virat.

Pandu and Madri (second consort of Pandu Maharaja) beget two sons, that is – Nakula and Sahadeva. Both Nakula and Sahadeva symbolize Character and Modesty. 

Nakula and Sahadeva both serve as essential complements to Dharma, Strength and Knowledge.

List of Sahadeva facts is as given below:

Master in plant communication : Not only animals, both the twin brothers were able to understand the languages and communications of all the plants too.

Physician : Along with his brother Nakula, Sahadeva was also a learnt physician. They were the avatars of the twin brothers Ashvini Kumaras (Ashvini Kumaras are the physicians of the Devata / Demigods).

Stayed in Virata Kingdom : During the Agyatvas / incognito period, both the brothers Nakula and Sahadeva along with their other brothers had been in the kingdom of Matsya Raja (Virata Nagara / Kingdom).

Animals were more happier : In this period all the cows were giving more milk compared to earlier times. And also the animals like horses were much more healthier than their previous times, and also more than any other part of the world.

Master in Axe fighting : Sahadeva was the master in axe fighting.

Vowed to kill Shakuni : Sahadeva had took the vow of killing Shakuni and he killed Shakuni in the battle of the Kurukshetra (Mahabharata war).

Aware about future : With the blessings of Lord Sri Krishna (Vishnu), Sahadeva was knowing about the future.

Was knowing Mahabharata war outcome : Sahadeva was aware about the future of the Mahabharata war. But Sahadeva never ever opened up about this with anyone regarding this secret as per the instructions of Lord Sri Krishna.

Master in Astrology : Sahadeva was also a master in astrology just like his twin brother Nakula.

Ashvineya : As his brother Nakula, Sahadeva is also called as Ashvineya, as Sahadeva was also a son and an avatar of Ashvini Kumaras.

Tantripala in Virata Nagara (Kingdom) : During the stay at Virata Nagara (Virata Parva), both Nakula and Sahadeva concealed themselves as Granthika and Tantripala respectively.

Draupadi as Sairandhri : Draupadi disguised herself as Sairandhri and moved into Queen’s palace as her beautician.

Wife name Vijaya : Apart from Draupadi, Sahadeva married Vijaya. Vijaya was Sanadeva’s maternal uncle’s daughter. Vijaya was the daughter of king Dyutimata of Madra and she was the consort (wife) of Sahadeva. They got married in a self accepted ceremony.

Sons names : Vijaya and Sahadeva had a son named Suhotra. After the Kurukshetra War, Vijaya and Suhotra lived in Madra. Sahadeva became the king of Madra Kingdom. Along with Draupadi, Sahadeva had a son named Shrutasena.

Now let us know Sahadeva’s secrets as given below (Pandu Maharaj and Sahadeva secret is as given below):

After years of meditation in the forest, Pancha (Five) Pandavas’ father King Pandu asked all his sons to eat his flesh when he died. By doing so, they would be blessed with great knowledge. But, when Pandu died, none of his sons had the courage to do so.

Later on, when Sahadeva saw some ants taking a piece of flesh from his father’s body, he put that piece in his mouth and got powers which he could never have imagined. 

Sahedeva saw all that had happened (about Kuru and Yadava’s, Bhishma’s vow etc.) and was about to happen (like gambling game, Kurukshetra war etc.).

When Sahadeva met Bhagavan Lord Sri Krishna, he (Sahadeva) was made to vow to never speak of anything he knew and if anybody asked a question, he would always reply with a question.

As Sahadeva knew all that was about to happen, he used occult sciences to show people how a small ripple lead to a disastrous or good result.

Here few point to be noted are: 1. All the Pancha (Five) Pandavas, were the avatars of different Devatas like: a. Yudhisthira was an avatar of Lord Sri Yama Deva. b. Bhima was an avatar of Lord Sri Vayu Deva.

c. Arjuna was an avatar of Lord Sri Indra Deva. d. Nakula and Sahadeva were the avatars of the Ashvini Kumaras.

[(Ashvini Kumaras original names are: Nasatya (Nakula) and Dasra (Sahadeva). Same two Ashvini Kumaras had taken birth as Meinda and Dvivida during Ramayana period.)]

2. In these, the most learnt was Bhimasena (Bhima). He was knowing everything. After Lord Sri Krishna and Goddess Sri Rukmini Devi, Bhimasena is the only divine person who was knowing everything in Mahabharata.

3. Bhimasena (Bhima) never ever interfered which Lord Sri Krishna was against. Bhimasena knows everything, but kept quiet as per the instructions of Bhagavan Lord Sri Krishna.

4. We should always remember that Lord Sri Vayu Deva will become next Lord Sri Brahma Deva in the next Maha Kalpa. Since Bhimasena (Bhima) was an avatar of Lord Sri Vayu Deva, same Bhimasena (Bhima) (i.e., Lord Sri Vayu Deva) will become next Lord Sri Brahma Deva in the next Maha Kalpa.

(Lord Sri Vayu Deva has taken totally 3 avatars: Hanuman, Bhima and Sri Madhwacharya Ji. All these 3 are one and the same, but with different avatars during different periods / Yugas.)

5. There are unlimited number of hidden stories in the Great Epic of Mahabharata. We need to learn from a correct Vaishnava Guru, to know as much of the hidden and correct stories from Mahabharata.

Karna Birth : Karna an avatar of Lord Sri Surya (Sun God) was born on the Magha month of the Bright half (Shukla Paksha) 1st day (Pratipada tithi).

Nakula and Sahadeva Birth : Both Nakula and Sahadeva were born on Bhava Samvatsara, Phalguna month, New Moon day (Amavasya Tithi), Midday, in Ashwini Star (Nakshatra). Both Nakula and Sahadeva were younger than Arjuna by 1 year, 0 month, and 15 days. They were the avatars of Ashwini brother Nasatya and Dasra.

Lord Sri Krishna Birth : He is unborn. But as a pastime he takes the avatar (not birth) on Shrimukha Samvatsara, Shravana month, Dark half (Krishna Paksha), 8th day (Ashtami Tithi), just after midnight in Taurus Lagna (Vrishabha Rashi). He is avatar of Lord Sri Vishnu. There is no difference between Lord Vishnu and Krishna avatar.

Duryodhana Birth : Just one day after the mighty Bhima’s birth Duryodhana was born. From that day onwards everyday the rest of the 99 Kauravas (boys) and their only sister were born. Similarly, Hidimba, Bakasura and Kichaka were born in the same period between Magha and Swati Stars (Nakshatras).

Duryodhana’s Death : He lost the battle against the mighty Bhima on Margashirsha month, New Moon Day (Amavasya Tithi) / Pausha Bright half (Shukla Paksha) in the evening. He died the next morning on the Bright half (Shukla Paksha), 1st Day (Pratipada Tithi).

Yudhishthira became Yuvaraja (Crowned Prince) : Yudhishthira became Crowned Prince (Yuvaraja) of Hastinapura (Hastinavati) on Shubhakrit Samvatsara, Ashwayuja month, Bright half (Shukla Paksha), 10th day (Dashami Tithi) when he was 31 years, 0 month and 5 days old.

Yudhishthira became King of Hastinapura : Yudhishthira was crowned as the King of Hastinapura (Hastinavati) on Shubhakrit Samvatsara, Pausha month, Full Moon Day (Purnima). Yudhishthira was 91 year, 3 months and 10 days old when he became the King (Samrat / Chakravartin / Emperor) of the whole world.

Yudhishthira ruled for the whole world for 36 years, 2 months and 15 days. From Shubhakrit Samvatsara, Pushya month, Full Moon Day (Purnima Tithi) to Bahudhanya Samvatsara, Pushya month, Full Moon Day (Purnima Tithi). It was 36 years, 2 months and 15 days.

It was Pramadi Samvatsara, Bright half (Shukla Paksha), 1st Day (Pratipada Tithi) Lord Shri Krishna finished his avatar on this earth, that is, on B.C 3102-2-20 at 2-27-30 P.M. Originally Kali Yuga started when Duryodhana died.

Seven days later, on Bright half (Shukla Paksha), 7th Day (Saptami Titihi), whole of the Dwarka city was submerged in the Ocean. Saptarishis (Seven Sages) were in Magha Star (Nakshatra). Yudhishthira Shaka started from his coronation day, that is, Lord Sri Krishna finished his Avatar in Yudhishthira Shaka. Total there were 36 years, 2 months and 15 days in Yudhishthira Shaka.

Pandavas started for their Final journey after Yudhishthira Shaka on Pramadi Samvatsara, Ashwayuja month, Bright half (Shukla Paksha), 12th Day (Dwadashi Tithi). At that time, Yudhishthira was aged 128 years, 0 month and 6 days. Parikshit was 36 years old at that time, and he (Parikshit) was coronated on the same day at Hastinapur (Hastinavati).

King Parikshit ruled the whole world for 60 years. After he got the curse from Sage Shringi (son of Sage Shamika), King Parikshit coronated his 25 year old son Janamejaya, and died after hearing the Srimad Bhagavatam under Sage Shuka Muni (Shukacharya – son of Lord Sri Vedavyasa).

King Parikshit is believed to be an avatar (reincarnation) of Satya (Krita) Yuga, the personified first Yuga as per Hindu Sanatana Dharma. Shakuni the maternal uncle of Duryodhana is an avatar of Dvapara Yuga (In Sanskrit Dvapara means uncertainty, doubt). Duryadhana is an avatar of Kali Yuga’s Kali.
