Agni Purana — Chapter 331
AgP 331.1
:ए इत्य् आग्नेये महापुराणे छन्दोजातिनिरूपणं नाम त्रिंशदधिकत्रिशततमो ऽध्यायः छप्तेर् {३३१} :श् अथैकत्रिंशदधिकत्रिशततमो ऽध्यायः विषमकथनम् अग्निर् उवाच वृत्तं समञ्चार्धसमं विषमञ्च त्रिधा वदे समन्तावत् कृत्वकृतमर्धसमञ्च कारयेत्
:e ity āgneye mahāpurāṇe chandojātinirūpaṇaṃ nāma triṃśadadhikatriśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ chapter {331} :ś athaikatriṃśadadhikatriśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ viṣamakathanam agnir uvāca vṛttaṃ samañcārdhasamaṃ viṣamañca tridhā vade samantāvat kṛtvakṛtamardhasamañca kārayet
Thus in the Āgneya Mahāpurāṇa, the three-hundred-and-thirtieth chapter, called 'The Determination of the Classes of Metre'. [Chapter 331] Now the three-hundred-and-thirty-first chapter: the statement of the uneven (metres). Agni said: A metre is threefold — even, half-even, and uneven; so I shall declare it. Having made (the pādas) alike all round, one should also make the incomplete one half-even.

पादस्याद्यन्तु वक्रं स्यात् शनौ न प्रथ्मास्मृतौ वाल्यमुश् चतुर्थाद्वर्णात् पथ्या वर्णं युजोयतः
pādasyādyantu vakraṃ syāt śanau na prathmāsmṛtau vālyamuś caturthādvarṇāt pathyā varṇaṃ yujoyataḥ
But the beginning of the pāda should be crooked; in the śani (?) the first is not held (so); the vālyamu (comes) from the fourth syllable; the pathyā (has) the syllable in the even (pāda) accordingly.

विपरीतपथ्यान्यासाच्चपला वा युजस्वनः विपुलायुग्नसप्तमः सर्वं तस्यैव तस्य च
viparītapathyānyāsāccapalā vā yujasvanaḥ vipulāyugnasaptamaḥ sarvaṃ tasyaiva tasya ca
By the reverse arrangement of the pathyā it is the capalā, or (has) the sound of the even (pāda); the vipulā (has) an odd seventh; the whole belongs to that very one and to that.
