Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Vyākhyātatva (व्याख्यातत्व) refers to “(that which has been) explained”, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī by Vilāsavajra, which is a commentary on the Nāmasaṃgīti.—Accordingly, [while commenting on verse 93cd]—“{With five faces. With five crests [of hair]. With a crown of five hair-braids}.—And this second half [of the verse] should be understood with reference to the Ādibuddha, via the teacher’s instruction on the beginning yoga (ādiyoga) [phase of the sādhana]. And as it is explained (vyākhyātatva) there, it is not restated here.”.
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.
