At the end of their rule, Pandavas decided to retire. It was
time for them to bid good bye to civilization. Sahadeva died during the final
journey of Pandavas and it is mentioned in the Mahaprasthanika Parva.
Sahadeva followed his wife, Draupadi, and brothers to the
great snow-clad mountains in the Himalayas. Draupadi slipped and fell as they
started climbing the Himalayas.
Sahadeva fell next.
Bhima soon realized that Sahadeva had fallen and was about
die. He asked to Yudhisthira as to why Sahadeva had fallen as he had never
performed any evil.
Yudhisthira told Bhima that Sahadeva had reaped the fruits
of his actions. He had thought himself unparalleled in wisdom. His proud was
his sin.
The brothers who had decided to give up all ties climbed the
mountain leaving Sahadeva behind.
