There was a time when even the Buddha was considered a nonhistorical figure by the Western Academicians. Human societies retain memories of great events and personalities in the form of colourful legends and folklore. In this sense, Rama and the Ramayana would indeed be a colourful history of a great personality and his life.

There is a reference to Sanjeevani (or Mruth Sanjeevani) in Valmiki's Ramayana in the Shloka 29 to 34 of the 74th Chapter of the 'Yuddakandha'. Reference has been made to four different herbs in this section, viz. Sanjeevani (or Mruth Sanjeevani; healer of wounds and the one that resurrects the dead); Sandhanakarani (restorer of the skin and joints)

Valmiki Ramayana in Kannada, vol. 9, Bharatha Darshana Mudranalaya, Bangalore. Hindi Sources (You should go a long way over the ocean, and having reached Himavaan, the greatest of all mountains, you will see the great Rishabha mountain, the lofty range of gold, and you will see the peak of Kailasa too, O Destroyer of the foe! Between those two peaks, you will find the mountain that is the home of all medicinal herbs, the mountain that glows with unparalleled brightness. You will see O tiger among the apes! four flaming herbs glowing on its top, that light-up the ten directions. They are the Mruthasanjeevani (the healer of wounds), Sandhanakarani (restorer of the skin), and Savarnyakarani (restorer of the clour of the skin) and Vishalyakarani (the remover of the arrows). You should gather them.)

In the Mahabharata, another great Indian epic, there is a reference to the Sanjeevani Vidya (art of Sanjeevani), which was adopted by Shukracharya, the preceptor of Demons, to revive all the demons killed by the Gods

Hanuman is the monkey God according to the narration in the epic, but the fact that Rama and his people were continually and actively communicating at ease with him and his relatives and clan members, suggests that this was a metaphoric representation of a native tribe of Deccan India who were perhaps melanic, strongly built and forest-dwelling and hence different from the northern people.

There is no consensus on where he searched for this in India; some versions suggest that he visited the Himalayas; but the fact that he was familiar only with South India, could suggest that he landed somewhere along Sahyadri range or its extensions

This has been exaggerated to indicate that he carried an entire mountain. It is also true that he brought with him other plants as well, viz. Vishalyakarani, Suvarnakarani and Sandhanakarani. While the last of these is mentioned as a group of plants in Charaka Samhita, we do not consider these as candidates for the following reasons: (a) they do not seem to have consistency in their mentioning in other literature sources. (b) It was Sanjeevani that was eventually used to cure Lakshmana. (c) There are no phonetic synonyms used consistently for these names in different languages and sources.
