And there were many Brahmanas skilled in the art of making sacrificial platforms and in the rules of Krama in sacrifices, conversant with logic and the mental sciences, and possessing a complete knowledge of the Vedas.

The Commandant, by name Krama, of the Kdr, forced men and youths, and even women, to fill up the holes made by the bombardment during the action. A German general passed and reprimanded them on the ground that there was danger to the civilians; they were withdrawn for the moment, but sent back as soon as the general had left."

Its language also is less pure, and contains a certain admixture of ordinary high Javanese or Krama.

Two forms of modern Javanese are employed in everyday speech. The Krama contains a considerable number of words derived from Sanscrit and introduced through the Kavi, and an admixture of Malay.
