In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Mṛtasaṃjīvini (मृतसंजीविनि).—A medicinal plant capable of restoring the dead to life; found in Droṇa hill of Śālmalidvīpa.*
- * Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa II. 19. 39.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Mṛtasaṃjīvinī (मृतसंजीविनी) or Mṛtasaṃjīvana as mentioned in the Kakṣapuṭatantra is a kind of medical treatment. It does not have any relationship with the yoga by which a practitioner controls jñāna (consciousness) or prāṇa (vital breath). Instead, it is a treatment for people who are in a state of suspended animation due to a fatal snakebite or other pathological conditions. It is said that, by applying a kind of sternutatory to the corpse, the dead are immediately brought back to life.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
India history and geography
Mṛtasañjīvinī (मृतसञ्जीविनी) by Bhāskara Rāya is the name of a commentary on the Vṛttaratnākara of Kedārabhaṭṭa (C. 950-1050 C.E.), who was a celebrated author in Sanskrit prosody. The Vṛttaratnākara is considered as most popular work in Sanskrit prosody, because of its rich and number of commentaries.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
