What happens in this chapter
The half-even metres
Suta defines the ardhasama metres, in which the first and third quarters share one pattern and the second and fourth another. Upachitraka has three sa-ganas, a light and a heavy syllable in the odd quarters, and bha-ganas ending in two heavies in the even ones. Drutamadhya, vegavati, bhadravirat and ketumati are each given their pair of patterns in the same terse code of ganas. Akhyanaki uses ta, ta, ja and two heavies in the odd quarters and ja, ta, ja and two heavies in the even, while viparitakhyanaki reverses them, as Pingala taught. Pushpitagra pairs na, na, ra, ya with na, ja, ja, ra and a heavy. Aparavaktra, the aupacchandasika and vangmati close this short chapter of seven verses.
