In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: Fragments of the SahajālokapañjikāKṛṣṇayamāritantra (कृष्णयमारितन्त्र), which is categorized in the Yogottaratantra category, most likely dates to from the ninth to the tenth century. The tantra consists of eighteen chapters. Because of the contents, it seems to have been composed under the influence of the Guhyasamājatantra , the chief tantra of the Yogottaratantra. There are five commentaries on the Kṛṣṇayamāritantra but only two commentaries now exist as original Sanskrit texts: Sahajālokapañjikā (available only in fragments) and Ratnāvalīpañjikā (complete) by Kumāracandra.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
