Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
1) Pavamāna (पवमान).—An Agni (fire). The eldest son of Brahmā, Agni, got of his wife Svāhā three sons, Pāvaka, Pavamāna and Śuci. These three got fortyfive children and they are called Agnis. Thus, father, three sons and their fortyfive sons constitute the 49 Agnis. (Chapter 10, Aṃśa 1, Viṣṇu Purāṇa).
2) Pavamāna (पवमान).—A mountain. This mountain is situated near Meru. (8th Skandha, Devī Bhāgavata).
3) Pavamāna (पवमान).—One of the three sons of Vijitāśva. He was in his previous birth an Agni but was cursed by Vasiṣṭha to be born on earth as a man. (4th Skandha, Bhāgavata).
Pavamāna (पवमान) refers to the “wind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura fought with Kārttikeya: “[...] The wind (pavamāna) did not blow. The sun became dim. The earth quaked along with mountains and forests. In the meantime Himālaya and other mountains anxious to see Kumāra out of affection came there. On seeing the mountains extremely terrified, Kumāra the son of Śiva and Pārvatī spoke enlightening them thereby. [...]”.

Pavamāna (पवमान) refers to one of the three sons of Agni and Svāhā: one of the twenty-four daughters of Dakṣa and Prasūti, according to the Vaṃśa (‘genealogical description’) of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, Ākūti was married to Ruci and Prasūti to Dakṣa. Dakṣa produced in Prasūti twenty-four daughters. [...] [Svāhā was given to Agni.] Agni and Svāhā had three sons—Pāvaka, Pavamāna and Vaidyuta-Pāvaka.
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.
