According to the ÅšivapurÄåṇa 2.1.16:—“[...] ÅšivÄå incarnated as PÄårvatÄ« at the request of the Devas. It was after performing a severe penance that she could attain Åšiva again. ÅšivÄå came to be called by various names [such as ³§²¹°ù±¹²¹³¾²¹á¹…g²¹±ôÄå,...]. These various names confer worldly pleasures and salvation according to qualities and action. The name PÄårvatÄ« is very common.
