Krama, or weighing the relative strength or weakness of the faults or merits, consists in settling the propriety of the priority or subsequence of the words used in sentence. This is the meaning of the word Krama as held by person who can explain sentences or texts.
इदं पूर्वमिदं पश्चाद् वक्तव्यं यद् विवक्षितम्। क्रमयोगं तमप्याहुर्वाक्यं वाक्यविदो जनाः॥
