Among the Eighteen Major Scriptures of the Mind Section of the Great Perfection, Vairotsana was only able to translate these first five scriptures into Tibetan and they were therefore later known as the [[Five Early Translations of the Mind Section]].

The Tantra Section consists of the Eighteen Mahayoga Tantras while the Sadhana Section is comprised of the Eight Sadhana Teachings.
