स प्राप्य राजानम् अमित्रतापनस्; ततो ऽब्रवीन् मेघमहौघनिःस्वनः ॥
वैश्यो ऽस्मि नाम्नाहम् अरिष्टनेमिर्; गोसंख्य आसं कुरुपुंगवानाम् ॥
वस्तुं त्वयीच्छामि विशां वरिष्ठ; तान् राजसिंहान् न हि वेद्मि पार्थान् ॥
न शक्यते जीवितुम् अन्यकर्मणा; न च त्वद् अन्यो मम रोचते नृपः ॥
sa prāpya rājānam amitratāpanas; tato 'bravīn meghamahaughaniḥsvanaḥ ||
vaiśyo 'smi nāmnāham ariṣṭanemir; gosaṃkhya āsaṃ kurupuṃgavānām ||
vastuṃ tvayīcchāmi viśāṃ variṣṭha; tān rājasiṃhān na hi vedmi pārthān ||
na śakyate jīvitum anyakarmaṇā; na ca tvad anyo mama rocate nṛpaḥ ||
Having reached the king, the scourge of foes, he spoke in a voice like the roar of a great cloud-mass: 'I am a vaishya, my name is Arishtanemi. I was a cattle-counter for the foremost of the Kurus. I wish to live with you, best of men. I do not know where those royal lions, the Parthas, are. I cannot live by any other work, and none pleases me but you, O king.'

Sahadeva chooses humble speech, yet in it his loyalty to the Pandavas remains. He does not disown his former masters -- he only says he has lost them.
