I am not sure about it. I have just read folk story about this.

Is Pandu's last wish, not to burn his body but eat it away, real?

Is there any valid scripture available for this story?

If yes,

Then, How many times did he use this knowledge in Mahabharata?

Sahadeva disclosed the same for the Kauravas in spite of knowing that Kauravas were their enemy,

  • @YogeshBorad i answered your original Question in post, which was about whether Sahadev used his power or not. Now, what Sahadeva disclosed about the war to Duryodhana is another Question all together and you can raise that as new Question.
