In general, there are four kinds of treatise (Tib. བསྟན་བཅོས་བཞི་, tenchö shyi, Wyl. bstan bcos bzhi) :
- a treatise that imposes order on what appears disorganized (Tib. འཁྲུགས་པ་བསྡེབ་པའི་བསྟན་བཅོས་, Wyl. 'khrugs pa bsdeb pa'i bstan bcos);
- a treatise that elucidates difficult points (Tib. གབ་པ་འབྱིན་པའི་བསྟན་བཅོས་, Wyl. gab pa 'byin pa'i bstan bcos);
- a treatise that brings together scattered elements (Tib. འཐོར་བ་སྡུད་པའི་བསྟན་བཅོས་, Wyl. 'thor ba sdud pa'i bstan bcos); and
