Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationToyabindu (तोयबिन्दु) refers to “drops of water”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Then a battle between the armies of the gods and Asuras ensued. [...] Bhārgava resuscitated the Asuras killed in the battle with the Vidyā of Amṛtajīvinī and drops of water (toyabindu) infused with mantras [vidyayā amṛtajīvinyā maṃtritaistoyabindubhiḥ]. The sage Aṅgiras too resuscitated the gods in the battle with the divine herbs frequently brought from the mountain Droṇa. Jalandhara saw the gods restored to life again in the battle. He then spoke angrily to 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.
