In the Mahayana the five Vidya-sthanas or Branches of learning, which belong to the Perfection of Virya or Energy, are: Buddhist philosophy, logic or dialectics, grammar, medicine, technical arts and crafts. This is told in Har Dayal's Bodhisattva Doctrine in Buddhist Sanskrit Literature. A link to Har Dayal's book https://ahandfulofleaves.files.wordpres ... _dayal.pdf.
