Chinnaka (छिन्नक) refers to a particular Gati-Parikrama (“gait-movements”), according to the Nāṭyaśāstra.—Also see the Abhinavabhāratī, Commentary on 12.53 (GOS Vol. II, pp.143-144): [...] In the situation of war, the gaits will be irregular and in viṣama-gati. On the basis of this lakṣaṇa, Kohala and others suggest movements based on nartanaka, utphullaka for the raudra-rasa.—Also see Nāṭyaśāstra of Bharatamuni (2001: GOS Vol. II: p.144): These parikramas like nartanaka, utphullaka, chinnaka, praphullaka and such like are all very much part of the mārga tradition. Interestingly, there is a rāga prescribed for each of these.
