Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramGurugṛha (गुरुगृह) refers to the “house of the teacher”, 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, “I will tell you the mantras that are accomplished in the Western House. Those eight that are in the house of Mahākaula should be worshipped there. Each of them bear the form of the mantra that is in the assembly of Siddhas and Yoginīs. The Krama of every one of them is the House of the Teacher [i.e., gurugṛha]. It is the support that begins with the teacher”.
