Paurṇamāsa (पौर्णमास) or Pūrṇimā refers to the “full-moon night”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] Firmly resolved in her desire to secure Śiva as her husband, she (viz., Devī as Satī) propitiated him in her own house with the permission of her mother. [...] She kept awake in the full-moon night [Paurnamasa] of Māgha (January-February) and worshipped Śiva on the banks of the river wearing wet clothes [...] After worshipping Him with the offerings of cloths and Bṛhatī flowers on the full-moon night [Pūrṇimā] of Jyeṣṭha (May-June) she spent the whole month observing fast”.
