Tīrastha (तीरस्थ) refers to “that which stands on the banks”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Śiva said to Sitā:—“[...] O my beloved, beautiful woman, clouds will not reach the place where I have to make an abode for you. [...] O Goddess of Devas, there are many beautiful blue lotuses emitting sweet fragrance. On the banks (tīrastha) there are many grass lands, small and big trees and the saffron flowers increasing the fragrance of the waters with which the lakes are full”.
