Prapūrṇa (प्रपूर्ण) refers to “complete (and perfect)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Rati said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, merciful to the depressed, make me jubilant at the jubilant celebration of your marriage that gives pleasure to everyone. There is no doubt in this, that only when my lord is resuscitated will your sportive dalliance with your beloved Pārvatī be complete (prapūrṇa) and perfect. You are competent to do everything because you are the supreme lord. O lord of all, of what avail is this talk. Please resuscitate my husband quickly”.
