K glosses the term with prabandha, 'connected discourse' and defines our work under three aspects: as a hetu-tantra ('cause-tantra'), members of the vajra-family being the cause; as a phala-tantra ('result-tantra'), the perfected form of Hevajra being the result; as an upāya-tantra ('means-tantra'), the way which it teaches being the means (vol. II, p. 105). The Hevajra-tantra is in fact a yoginī-tantra as distinguished from a yoga-tantra (see p. İ32 above, also Buddhist Himalaya, p. 203). According to another mode of grouping, it is classed as an anuttarayoga- tantra, a 'tantra of supreme yoga', for it is the means to the highest form of siddhi.1 Five classes of tantras are mentioned by K: kriyā, caryā, yoga, yogottara and yoganiruttara (vol. II, p. 156), but the number was traditionally fixed at four (for everything goes in fours) and it was in four such groups that the Tibetans later arranged their impressive collection. As grades they are associated, probably quite artificially, with the four consecrations (abhiṣeka) and typified by the four gestures of the 'smile', &c.<br> kriyā-tantra Master Consecration smile<br> caryā-tantra Secret Consecration gaze<br> yoga-tantra Knowledge of Prajñā embrace<br> anuttarayoga-tantra Fourth Consecration union<br> 'In some kriyā-tantras the smile indicates the impassioning of the Wis- dom and Means of the divinities, by which symbolizing (visuddhi, q.v.) the Master Consecration is indicated; in some caryā-tantras the mutual gaze indicates their impassioning, by which symbolizing the Secret Consecration is indicated; in some yoga-tantras the embrace indicates their impassioning, by which symbolizing the Consecration in Know- ledge of Prajñā is indicated; in some anuttarayoga-tantras the union indicates their impassioning, by which symbolizing the Fourth Con- secration is indicated' (K, vol.

The concept existed in early Buddhism as an explanation of why an individual does not cease to exist when consciousness stops and was termed bhavanga in the Theravāda tradition. The ālaya later became an explanation, particularly in the Cittamātra tradition, for where karmic seeds are stored and was considered the source of an individual's mentally produced experiences.
