सिंहावलोकिताख्यश्च मण्डूकप्लुतिरेव च ।
गङ्गास्रोत इति ख्यातो ह्यधिकारास्त्रयो मताः ।।
siṁhāvalokitākhyaś ca maṇḍūka-plutir eva ca ।
gaṅgāsrota iti khyāto hy adhikārās trayo matāḥ ।।
(Maugya-bodha-sampradāyaḥ)
“Adhikāras are considered to be of three types: (1) that known as a lion’s glance [i.e., extending backwards to sūtras that precede], (2) that known as a frog’s leap [i.e., sometimes skipping certain sūtras], and (3) that known as the flow of the Ganges [i.e., extending forward to sūtras that follow].”
