Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSindhvātmaja (सिन्ध्वात्मज) 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 Bhārgava arrived at the Asuras: “[...] After bestowing his benediction on them, Bhārgava, the storehouse of splendour, sat on a beautiful seat. They too resumed their seats as before. Then the heroic son of the ocean (sindhvātmaja), Jalandhara, saw his Assembly and was delighted to observe that his sway was unmitigated. Seeing the headless Rāhu seated there, the son of the ocean, the emperor of the Asuras, immediately asked Bhārgava”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
