वैशंपायन उवाच
सहदेवो ऽपि गोपानां कृत्वा वेषम् अनुत्तमम् ॥
भाषां चैषां समास्थाय विराटम् उपयाद् अथ ॥
तम् आयान्तम् अभिप्रेक्ष्य भ्राजमानं नरर्षभम् ॥
समुपस्थाय वै राजा पप्रच्छ कुरुनन्दनम् ॥
कस्य वा त्वं कुतो वा त्वं किं वा तात चिकीर्षसि ॥
न हि मे दृष्टपूर्वस् त्वं तत्त्वं ब्रूहि नरर्षभ ॥

sahadevo 'pi gopānāṃ kṛtvā veṣam anuttamam ||
bhāṣāṃ caiṣāṃ samāsthāya virāṭam upayād atha ||
tam āyāntam abhiprekṣya bhrājamānaṃ nararṣabham ||
samupasthāya vai rājā papraccha kurunandanam ||
kasya vā tvaṃ kuto vā tvaṃ kiṃ vā tāta cikīrṣasi ||
na hi me dṛṣṭapūrvas tvaṃ tattvaṃ brūhi nararṣabha ||
Vaishampayana said: 'Sahadeva too, having taken on the finest guise of cowherds and adopted their speech, approached Virata. Seeing him arrive, radiant, a bull among men, the king came up and asked the descendant of Kuru: "Whose are you? Where are you from? What do you wish to do, dear one? I have never seen you before. Tell me the truth, bull among men."'

Sahadeva conceals himself not only by dress but by speech. For the year in hiding, every layer of conduct matters: language, gait, craft, and the measure of one's answers.
