Is there such a thing as a definitive listing of 'restricted texts'?
For instance, is the Vairocanābhisaṃbodhisūtra a restricted text because it is sometimes called the Mahāvairocanatantra?

Yet another question about restricted texts
Then, the monks uttered this gāthā:
These bodies are like foam.
Them being frail, who can rejoice in them?
The Buddha attained the vajra-body.
Still, it becomes inconstant and ruined.
The many Buddhas are vajra-entities.
All are also subject to inconstancy.
Quickly ended, like melting snow --
how could things be different?
The Buddha passed into parinirvāṇa afterward.
(T1.27b10 Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra DĀ 2)
