The Progress (in Yoga practice) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Krama, according to the 17th century Yogacintāmaṇi by Śivānanda: a large compilation of roughly 3423 verses dealing with the various methods of (Haṭha) Yoga and Aṣṭāṅgayoga.—Accordingly, “Also in the Layakhaṇḍa, a sequence of Siddhis is taught following an explanation of the practice of Samādhi. [This sequence of Siddhis is taught] according to progress (krama) in the practice of [Samādhi]”.
