Thus गुडापूपाः प्रायेणान्नमस्या पौर्णमास्यां = गुडापूपिका पौर्णमासी "The Gudapupika - Paurnmasi" i. e that particular Full- Moon day in which cakes of sugar form the principal accompaniment of food. Similarly तिलापूपिका, कृशरिका, त्रिपुटिका &c.
Vart:- The affix इनि comes after वटक in the same sense. As वटकिनी पौर्णमासी ॥
