The progress of the Kalachakra (wheel of time) has been ascertained by ancient sages to take place in three ways — (1) Mandukagamana: a frog's leap; (2) Prishtatogamana: a going backward in view to the same movement; (3) Simhavalokana: the glancing of a lion which consists in returning by the way traversed already.
