Thousands of years ago humans and gods were terrorized by demons and demons. At the same time, humans started remembering Mata Shakti. Then Parvati (Shakti) was incarnated as 'Chhinnamasta'. The other name of Chhinnamasta is also 'Prachanda Chandika'. Then Mata Chinnamastika started killing the demons and demons with Khadag. Even hunger and thirst were not taken care of, only wanted to destroy the sinners. Rivers of blood started flowing. There was an uproar on the earth. Mata had assumed her fierce form. Apart from the sinners, she also started killing the innocent. Then all the deities went to Bhagwan Shiva after being frightened by the tremendous power, after hearing the prayers of the gods, Bhagwan Shiva reached Maa Chhinnamasta.
Seeing Bhagwan Shiva, Mata Chinnamastika said - \"Oh Nath! I am hungry. How can I satisfy my hunger?\" Bhagwan Shiva said that- \"You are the goddess of the whole universe. You are a power yourself. Then Bhagwan Shiva told the remedy that if you drink 'Shonit' (blood) after cutting your neck from the khadag, then your hunger will end. Will go.\" Then Mata Chinnamastika, after listening to Shiva, immediately cut her neck with a knife and took her head in her left hand. With the separation of the neck and head, three streams of blood came out of the neck, which were 'Dakini'-'Shakini' on the left and right. Two streams went into the mouth of both of them and in the middle the third stream went into the mouth of the Mata, due to which the Mata was satisfied.
