Her left foot forward in battle, she holds her severed head and a
knife. Naked, she drinks voluptuously the stream of the blood
nectar flowing from her beheaded body. The jewel on her forehead
is tied with a serpent. She has three eyes. Her breasts are
adorned with lotuses. Inclined towards lust, she sits erect above
the god of love, who shows signs of lustfulness. She looks like
the red China rose. - Chinnamasta Tantra, quoted in Alain
Danielou's Hindu Polytheism.

mantras used in Her six-way nyasa are 1) Shrim Aim Klim Sauh
