Those large-souled brothers of Sahadeva, O Krishna, ever respect the habits of life of Sahadeva, who follows a good course of life-Tell me, O scion of the Vrishni race, of that son of Madri, of that heroic and veteran warrior, Sahadeva, the chief of warriors, who used to wait on me.
सदैव सहदेवस्य भ्रातरो मधुसूदन। वृत्तं कल्याणवृत्तस्य पूजयन्ति महात्मनः॥ ज्येष्ठोपचायिन वीरं सहदेवं युधां पतिम्। शुश्रूषु मम वार्ष्णेय माद्रीपुत्रं प्रचक्ष्व मे॥
