Satṛṣṇā (सतृष्णा) refers to “having thirst”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, after Menā spoke to Śiva: “By that time the ladies of the town left the work they were engaged in, in their eagerness to see Śiva. [...] Another lady left her husband who had sat down to dine and came out athirsting (satṛṣṇā) and enthusiastic to see the bridegroom. A certain lady holding the collyrium in her hand after applying it to one of her eyes came out to see the bridegroom of the daughter of the mountain with the salve stick still in her hand. [...]”.
