Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPūrṇanāmā (पूर्णनामा) refers to “(the Goddess) who is called”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly ,“There is another divine aggregate of letters in this House, the City of the Moon of the triple goddess (bhagavatī). It is the Island of the Moon and, saluted with respect by the best of the gods, it is the House of (the goddess) who is called ‘Full’ (pūrṇanāmā). The goddess there is full (i.e. the full moon) and is well established on the path of the Transmission (krama). In the tradition (anvaya), she is (the goddess Kubjikā otherwise called) Kukārā. (She is the) energy (that operates) in each division and, within the beautiful Sky of Emptiness (suśuśiragagana), she is free of the networks of the clouds (of ignorance)”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
