Amṛtajīvinī (अमृतजीविनी) (or Sañjīvinī) refers to the “power of reviving those slain in battle”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Then a battle between the armies of the gods and Asuras ensued. [...] Bhārgava resuscitated the Asuras killed in the battle with the Vidyā of Amṛtajīvinī and drops of water infused with mantras. The sage Aṅgiras too resuscitated the gods in the battle with the divine herbs frequently brought from the mountain Droṇa. Jalandhara saw the gods restored to life again in the battle. He then spoke angrily to Bhārgava. [...]”.

Note: Amṛtajīvinī was a secret lore that restored the dead to life. This was the exclusive possession of Bhārgava (Śukra), the preceptor of the Asuras.
