Jvāleśvara (ज्वालेश्वर) is the name of a Tīrtha (holy places) mentioned in the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—According to the Matsyapurāṇa (188.80-95) and Padmapurāṇa (III.15.68-78 ) the sacred place Jvāleśvara is at the mountain Amarakaṇṭaka, whence starts the Narmadā. About the name it is stated that Śiva burnt the three cities (tripura), the second city in the midair fell on the Amarakaṇṭaka and got ablaze (jvalat); hence, it was called by the name Jvāleśvara.
According to the Saurapurāṇa Jvāleśvara is on the bank of the river Revā (Narmadā). This holy place is the destroyer of great sins. The liṅga named Jvāleśvara was established by Śiva.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
