<div style='text-align:justify;'>
 
According to Padma Purana, Vaitarana means ‘Vai’ (meaning truly) to ‘tarana’ (means saving). Vaitarana is called so because the enema is said to prevent many diseases. It means to donate, go across, to leave which helps to expel the dosha. Vaitarana is the name of river, which can bring back the dead to live.It is meant to cross a river, transporting (a departed spirit) over the river that flows between earth and the lower regions [Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary, 1899]. Hence, this basti is so powerful that it can bring back life of a person, who is about to die.
 
The first reference regarding vaitaranibasti is probably found in the Siddhayogaor Vrindamadhava ; narrated as separate section as this formulation does not satisfy inclusion in description ofniruhabasti.The critical edition of Vrindha Madhava by Dr.Premavati Tiwari and Dr. AshaKumari reports a variant reading where gudais replaced by Hingu.<ref>Vrindha. Vrindha madhava/sidhayogah Part 2. First edition. ByDr. Premvati Tiwari & Dr. Asha Kumari.Varanasi; ChaukambhaSanskrit Sansthan; 2006.p.938.</ref>
