Kramamukti (क्रममुक्ति) refers to “gradual liberation�, according to the commentary on the Kuṇḍika-upaniṣad verse 28.—The worshippers of the pure, resplendent Brahman (ś-󳾲) enter the world of Brahma (brahmaloka), that is, the sphere of Hiraṇyagarbha, along the path of the Sun (ūⲹ, or ܳٳٲⲹṇa-) by exiting from the crown of the head (brahma-randhra) through the ṣuṇ� canal; and there they are engaged in their quest for the attributeless Brahman till the end of the kalpa (till pralaya, or great dissolution, takes place). Having lived there till such time, they ultimately merge with Brahman on the attenuation of their subtle desires and attractions (-ṣaⲹ). Thereafter they never return to the plane of relative existence. This is the gradual liberation (kramamukti) attained by the knowers of Brahman with attributes (saviśeṣa brahmajñānī). On the other hand, the knowers of the attributeless, absolute Brahman (nirviśeṣa brahmajñānī) will attain direct, instant liberation (sadyo-mukti), here and now (ihaiva).
