Tīrṇa (तीर्ण) refers to “crossing (the ocean)” (of one’s ambition), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.48 (“Description of Marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing the words of his friends, Himavat urged by Brahmā gave his daughter to Śiva. ‘O lord Śiva, I am giving this girl, my daughter to you as your wife. O lord of all, be pleased to accept her’. Himavat gave his daughter Pārvatī, the mother of the three worlds, to Śiva the great, repeating the mantra ‘tasmai rudrāya mahate’. Placing the hand of Pārvatī in the hand of Śiva the mountain rejoiced much mentally. He had the satisfaction of crossing (tīrṇa-kāma) the ocean of his ambition. [...]”.
