"In another tradition, five types of tantric lore are distinguished. Siddhanta Jnana (leading to salvation), Garudajnana (removes poison or poison magic), Kamajnana (enables the adept to enforce his will), Bhutatantra (exorcism of demons) and Bhairvatantra (destruction of enemies). This system lays too much stress on the magical side of Tantric literature. A variant is the five-fold series of Siddhanta, Garuda, Ghora, Vama and Bhutantra which together constitute the Five Currents."
