Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)
Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstraKrāmaṇa (क्रामण):—Fifteenth of the eighteen Saṃskāra (special purification process). They are used to purify rasa (mercury) as per Rasaśāstra literature (Medicinal Alchemy), and are mentioned in texts such as the Rasaprakāśasudhākara. In Āyurveda, Saṃskāra refers to the “detoxification” process of metals and herbs. The Krāmaṇa-saṃskāra is mainly used for transmutational alchemical purposes. In other words: the last ten saṃskāras are sequentially used for the ends of transmutational and elixir alchemy. Krāmaṇa refers to the process of ‘taking hold’ or ‘progression’ and involves smearing mercury with a mineral and herbal paste and heating it in a fire pit such that it becomes capable, as a transmuting agent, of penetrating both metals and human body tissues.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKramaṇa (क्रमण) refers to “going around (the earth)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Śiva and Pārvatī spoke to their sons: “On hearing their words, the powerful Kumāra started immediately from the fixed point in order to go round the earth (pṛthivī-kramaṇa). Gaṇeśa of excellent intellect stood there itself after pondering in his mind frequently with his keen intellect. ‘What shall be done? Where am I to go? I cannot cross the earth. At best it may be possible to go a Krośa. I cannot go beyond it. What avails that happiness which is achieved after going round the earth?’ Please listen to what Gaṇeśa did after thinking thus. He performed the ceremonial ablution and returned, home. He then spoke to his father and mother”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
