There is another statement in the Mahābhārata that Sañjīvanī is an art, the use of a mantra. Śukrācārya by this art brought to life all the asuras killed in a war with the devas. (Śloka 8, Chapter 76, Ādi Parva). Again Śukrācārya brought to life three times his disciple Kaca whom the asuras killed three times. Śukrācārya taught the art to Kaca. (Śloka 28, Chapter 76, Ādi Parva).
