Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCārūṣṭha (चारूष्ठ) refers to “one having beautiful lips”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “That (was) the subtle, supreme visualization. (Now) listen to the gross one with limbs. O Kaulinī, I will tell you without doubt (what it is) as you (yourself) know it (to be). (The gross form has) five faces, ten arms and, pure, it has a smiling face. The face of the goddess is completely full (of light and joy) and she shines with (her) beautiful teeth and lips [i.e., cāruuṣṭha—cāru-danta-uṣṭha-bhāṣiṇī]. [...]”.
