Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Stotrapāṭha (स्तोत्रपाठ) refers to “reciting (auspicious) hymns”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “The man who offers the sacrifice along with his wife, the teacher and a sculptor goes at an auspicious time with elephants, horses, and chariots to the dwellings, temples, and doors taking (with them) some things (as an offering), which bestow what is auspicious. They do this with the sounds of conches, trumpets and the like, with the sound of singing and dancing while reciting auspicious hymns [i.e., stotrapāṭha] and (giving their) blessings with auspicious gifts. [...] Then (after having made offerings in the directions) one should install the Liṅga and worship the teacher vigorously”.
