Meanwhile, their three older brothers, Yudistira, Bimasena, and Arjuna were born from Kunti's womb. Nevertheless, Sadewa is told as a son who is often loved by Kunti. Nakula and Sadewa were born as a gift from twin gods named Aswin, because Pandu was undergoing a curse so that he could not have sex with his wife.

Through the dice game, Sangkuni cunningly captured Indraprastha Kingdom from the hands of pandava. Pandawa and Dropadi were sentenced to 12 years of exile in the forest, as well as a year undercover.
In disguise in the Matsya Kingdom, Sadewa plays a cow herder named Tantripala. He realized that the suffering of the Pandava was the result of Sangkuni's devious actions. So he joked that he would kill the man if there was a civil war against Korawa. After the end of the sentence, Korawa refused to restore Pandawa's rights. The attempted negotiations failed. The war in Kurukshetra erupted. Although the pandava's strength was less, they won.
On the 18th day Sangkuni fought against the Maldives. Relying on his magic, Sangkuni created a great flood to hit the Kurukshetra plains. Sadewa painstakingly succeeded in defeating Sangkuni with his sword. Meanwhile, in Javanese puppetry, Sangkuni did not die at the hands of sadewa, but at the hands of Bimasena.
