Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVāridhisuta (वारिधिसुत) refers to the “son of the ocean” and is used to describe Jalandhara, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “Once the son of the ocean (vāridhisuta), the noble-hearted husband of Vṛndā, was seated along with his wife and the Asuras. The brilliant Bhārgava came there joyously illuminating the ten quarters as the embodied brilliance. On seeing the preceptor coming, the Asuras were delighted in their minds and bowed to him. The son of the ocean too respectfully bowed to him. [...]”.
