1) Sṛṣṭikrama (सृष्टिक्रम) refers to the “Kramas of emanation” and represent one of the various classes of Krama (“the sequence of the phases of manifestation”).—The term krama is commonly used in this sense in the Tantras of the Kālīkrama. Indeed, one can say that it is specific to them. Thus, although the term is virtually never understood or applied in this sense in the Kubjikā Tantras, this sequence, supplies the basic format for the liturgies of the Kālīkrama. This Krama may be four-fold [some schools add a fifth] [e.g., the Kramas of emanation (sṛṣṭikrama)].

2) Sṛṣṭikrama (सृष्टिक्रम) refers to the “process of emanation”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 4.20.58-59.—Accordingly, “O goddess! Sinless one! I will explain to you all the Śākta and Śāmbhava (states) as well as the Āṇava (condition) and Kula which is a special (viśeṣa) grace. The process of emanation (sṛṣṭikrama) is the first. Descent (i.e. persistence) is the second. Withdrawal is the third and the Inexplicable (anākhyeya) is the fourth”.
