Vijaya (Mahabharat)

In the Hindu epic Mahabharat, Vijaya was the daughter of king Dyutimata of Madra and wife of Sahadeva. They got married in a self choice ceremony. They had a son Suhotra. Vijaya was beloved wife of Sahadeva. Vijaya was Nakula and Sahadeva's mother Madri's brother's daughter. She was also a lover of Sahadeva and she chose Sahadeva in her self choice ceremony. Afterwards, she was made his beloved wife. Sahadeva had one more wife before here, who was Draupadi (common wife of the Pandavas). But Vijaya was his own wife (not shared by other Pandavas).

Suhotra was only living heir of Sahadeva.[1]Sahadeva, Vijaya and Suhotra were living happily in Madra after Sahadeva was appointed as King of Madra Kingdom(after mahabharat war).
