Śīlasāgarā (शीलसागरा) refers to “she who is an ocean of good conduct”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the Ocean: “[...] This boy will become the emperor of Asuras. He will conquer even Viṣṇu. He will face defeat from no quarter. He cannot be slain by any one except Śiva. He will return to the place from where he sprang up. His wife will be a chaste lady who will increase good fortune. She will be exquisitely beautiful in every limb. She will be an ocean of good conduct (śīlasāgarā) and will speak pleasing words”.
