śrīgaruḍamahāpurāṇam- 212
sūta uvāca /
prastāra ādyago 'tho laḥ paratulyo 'tha pūrvagaḥ /
naṣṭamadhye sameṃ'ke laḥ same 'rdhe viṣame guruḥ //

The venerable Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa — 212 / Sūta said: / In the prastāra, the first is guru, then laghu, equal to the subsequent, then preceding. / In calculating a lost meter, when the number is even it is laghu; when halved evenly, [and] when odd, it is guru.
