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. [...]”.
