The reason I ask is that there is this is in incorrect spelling krgyad -- k is never used as a prefix letter. Do you mean to spell brgyad i.e. "eight"? IN which case the translation would be "eight delays" or something like that.

I think you must mean bka' brgyad i.e. the eight transmissions i.e. Yamantaka, Hayagriva, Heruka, Amritakundali, Kilaya, Matarah, etc. These are the eight sadhana cycles belonging to anuyoga system (according to Longchenpa) brought by Guru Padmasambhava to Tibet.

If, in fact, you mean bka' brgyad (often written "Kagye" phonetically), there are many texts relating to the "8 Commands," as it's sometimes translated. There are several terma traditions that incorporate these 8 deities in one practice, "Kagye Deshek Dupa" being the most famous I think, and then there are numerous sadhanas of the individual deities. These exist in the Kama as well as in many terma traditions.

Namdrol has indicated that Longchenpa classified these as Anu, which was news to me--normally one sees these practices referred to as Mahayoga, I think. I've seen different classifications of the main Nyingma Yidams-- the three main "Yidam Practices" are Kagye, Gongdu and Phurba, according to Khenpo Namdrol, and Tendrel Nyesel includes Gongdu, Kagye, Dupa Do (Anuyoga's main scripture, and main "deity practice") as well as the Shitro (Illusory Net)...

In any case, you need to be more specific before anyone can help, I think.
