--He was the Guru of Daitya as Brihaspati was the Guru of Devtaa. He knew Sanjeevanee Vidyaa so he could bring dead Daitya alive.
--Devtaa were very worried with this arranngement because whoever Daitya they killed in war, Shukraachaarya brought them alive. So they asked Brihaspati to learn this Vidyaa from him and do the same for them too. Then Brihaspati sent his son Kach to Shukraachaarya to learn that Vidyaa. Shukraachaarya taught him that Vidyaa, but when he was about to depart, Devayaanee asked him to marry her. He bluntly refused her offer that according to morals she was his sister so he could not marry her. At this She gave him Shaap that he would not be able to use that Vidyaa. At this Kach also gave Shaap to her that no Braahman will marry her. That is why when she met king Yayaati, she proposed to Yayaati, and Yayaati married her.
