Even after offering too many reminders, they were unable to fetch the attention of the deity.

When finally Goddess Parvati (Bhavani) realized the time, and in guilt beheaded herself. Three different bloodstreams erupted. From two bloodstreams her aides satisfied their hunger and the third one was consumed by the Goddess itself. Since that day, she was worshiped in the form of Chhinnamasta Devi.
