#[[matured vidyadhara]] (Tib. ''namin rigdzin''; Wyl. ''rnam smin rig 'dzin'')
#[[vidyadhara with power over life]] (Tib. ''tsewang rigdzin''; Wyl. ''tshe dbang rig 'dzin'')
#[[mahamudra vidyadhara]] (Tib. ''chakchen rigdzin''; Wyl. ''phyag chen rig 'dzin'')

==Related to the [[Five Paths]]==
According to [[Longchenpa]]:
*the '''matured vidyadhara''' is on the paths of [[path of accumulation|accumulation]] and [[path of joining|joining]], which are known collectively as the stage of aspiring conduct;
*the '''vidyadhara with power over life''' has reached the [[path of seeing]];
*the '''mahamudra vidyadhara''' is on the [[path of meditation]] and 
*the '''spontaneously accomplished vidyadhara''' is on the [[path of no-more-learning]].

[[Khenpo Ngakchung]] states:
*Those who have the ability to purify the ordinary body with the fire of concentration and transform it into a subtle body acquire the power of immortal life and are called '''vidyadharas with power over life'''.
*Those who have not been able to purify their bodies but whose minds have ripened into the deity’s body are known as '''matured vidyadharas'''.
*Those who are on the second to the ninth [[bhumi]]s are '''mahamudra vidyadharas'''.
*Then, at the end of the path, at the moment [[buddhahood]] is reached, they are '''spontaneously accomplished vidyadharas'''.
