Sindhuputra (सिन्धुपुत्र) 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, the noble-hearted husband of Vṛndā, was seated along with his wife and the Asuras.

The son of the ocean (sindhuputra) too respectfully bowed to him. [...]”.
