*śaunaka uvāca
itīdamuktvā sa mahāprabhāvas taponidhīnāṃ nidhir aprameyaḥ
tāndānavāṃścaiva nigūḍhabuddhīn idaṃ samāhūya vaco 'bhyuvāca //

Śaunaka said that the illustrious seer Śukra, after saying that, called all the Dânavas of clouded intellect and said:—"Hear, you foolish Dânavas! My disciple, Kacha, after acquiring sañjîvanî knowledge from me, has become equally powerful like myself; and has become a true Brâhmaṇa and one with Brahma.—64-65.
