Jalaklinna (जलक्लिन्न) refers to “wet and dripping (cloths)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O great sage, when the Asura Tāraka was killed by Skanda, the son of Śiva, his three sons performed austerities. [...] In the late winter they stayed under water or wore wet dripping (jalaklinna) silken cloth or allowed themselves to be covered with dew drops. They were not at all vexed or distressed thereby. They gradually increased the severity of their austerities. Thus the three excellent sons of Tāraka performed penance with Brahmā as the object of their worship. [...]”.
