Heroic, ever wrathful, intelligent and wise, Sahadeva is my husband. He would rather rush into fire or give up his life than say anything against religion and morals. That high-minded one always abides by the duties of the Kshatriyas, is dearer than her life to Kunti and heroic among men.
स एष शूरो नित्यममर्षणपश्च धीमान् प्राज्ञः सहदेवः पतिर्म। त्यजेत् प्राणान् प्रविशेद्धव्यवाह न त्वेवैष व्याहरेद् धर्मबाह्यम्॥ सदा मनस्वी क्षत्रधर्मे रतश्च कुन्त्याः प्राणैरिष्टतमो नृवीरः।
