Pūrṇavatī) refers to “one who is full” (of the command), according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā (verse 8.85cd-88ab).—Accordingly, “[...] Ciñcānātha is the ocean of the three Lords of the Lineages. They play with him in the pool (taṭāka) encompassed by Ciñcinī. Ciñcinī is the supreme Śakti, she is Parā whose nature is nectar. She is the radiant energy on the path of mantra. Auspicious, she is full (pūrṇavatī) of the Command. The supreme god Vidyārājeśvara (i.e. Navātman) was first pervaded by her. (He is) Śrīnātha endowed with power and so goes by the name Ciñcinin. [...]”.
