Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJalatīra (जलतीर) refers to the “bank of a tank”, according to Śivapurāṇa 1.15. Accordingly, regarding the benefit in the rites of Devayajña:—“the pure house accords normal benefit in the rites of Devayajña etc. The cowshed is of ten times more benefit than that. The bank of a tank (jalatīra) is of ten times more benefit than that and the root of Tulasi plant or of Bilva or Aśvattha trees is again of ten times more benefit than that”.
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.
