She is invoked as 'goddess of purification. From her association in several passages with the great deep, and with the city of Eridu metaphorically used for the great deep one may be permitted to conclude that she, too, was conceived of as a water-god or a water-spirit.
Water, being one of the means of purification frequently referred to in the texts, acquires a symbolical significance among the Babylonians, as among so many other nations. Ea, therefore, as the water-god of the ancient sacred town, Eridu, acquires additional popularity through this circumstance. The titles that he receives in the texts emphasize his power to heal and protect.

No sooner was I there than I knew why I had come.
