सहदेवसुतो राजञ्छ्रुतकर्मा तथापरे । युधिष्ठिरात् तु पौरव्यां देवकोऽथ घटोत्कच: ॥ ३० ॥ भीमसेनाद्धिडिम्बायां काल्यां सर्वगतस्तत: । सहदेवात् सुहोत्रं तु विजयासूत पार्वती ॥ ३१ ॥
sahadeva-suto rājañ chrutakarmā tathāpare yudhiṣṭhirāt tu pauravyāṁ devako ’tha ghaṭotkacaḥ
O King, the son of Sahadeva was Śrutakarmā. Furthermore, Yudhiṣṭhira and his brothers begot other sons in other wives. Yudhiṣṭhira begot a son named Devaka through the womb of Pauravī, and Bhīmasena begot a son named Ghaṭotkaca through his wife Hiḍimbā and a son named Sarvagata through his wife Kālī. Similarly, Sahadeva had a son named Suhotra through his wife named Vijayā, who was the daughter of the king of the mountains.
This verse states that Sahadeva’s son was named Śrutakarmā, and indicates there were other descendants as well.
Here it says that by his wife Pauravī, Yudhiṣṭhira had sons named Devaka and Ghaṭotkaca.
