The term "five degrees of enlightenment" is interpreted by Vimuktisena (Sparham (2006 I): 145) to denote the results, such as entering the stream, that are mentioned in the paragraph that immediately follows the appearance of this term, http://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-031-002.html#UT22084-031-002-1402. See also the Extensive Exegesis of the Transcendent Perfection of Discriminative Awareness in One Hundred Thousand Lines, Twenty-five Thousand Lines, and Eighteen Thousand Lines (Śatasahāsrikāpañcaviṃśatisāhasrikāṣṭādaśasāhasrikāprajnāpāramitābṛhaṭṭīkā, TPD 55: 1040).
An alternative, though less likely, enumeration is given in Asaṅga's Yogācārabhūmi, volume sha, 162a: (1) essence ({ngo bo nyid}), (2) power ({mthu}), (3) skillful means ({thabs}), (4) engagement ({'jug pa}), and (5) reversal ({ldog pa}). See Nordrang Orgyan (2003): 1158.
