[Thus in the Āgneya Mahāpurāṇa the three hundred twenty-sixth chapter, called "The Greatness of the Temple" and so forth. Chapter 327. Now the three hundred twenty-seventh chapter: The Essence of Metre.] Agni said: I shall declare metre as stated by Piṅgala, in due order, with its root (elements). At the beginning, middle and end of everything are the two feet ma and la; ja, sa and ta are the triads, the (metrical) feet.
