śrī chinnamastā devi stotram

Thirteen verses spoken by Ishvara, and the first line names the goddess by the name the Shrividya texts use for her rather than by the one in the title: I salute the king of hymns of Vairochani, the giver of good. Vairochani is Chinnamasta. What the verses give is the form as it is met in the forest rather than on a throne — a tiger skin at the loins, pot-bellied, short of body, her joints beyond describing, adorned with a row of skulls, holding the chopper bright as jasmine flowers, and set in the station of knowledge. The last verse asks nothing except that the salutation be received, calling her the great illusion who pities those devoted to her.
