Note

The authors comment on the four-fold classification of the Tantras in terms of time periods, castes, intellectual capacities and temperments, and tendencies (bag chags) (ie. four types of attachment in relation to four states waking, dreaming, deep sleep and 4th as elaborated in Kālacakra {116346} (see Rnam mkhyen shing rta 22.2). They go on to deal with the four classes of Tantra (commenting on the following passage from 'Jigs med gling pa's Yon tan mdzod rtsa ba {115776:ch8}).
