II. अर्धभ्रमकबन्धः ( [ardhabhramakabandha� (] Ardhabhramaka-bandha - half moving) :
It is
where each of the letters forming half portion of the
first pāda becomes the first letter of the remaining three pādas in the
respective order. Following is an example.
गदाऽऽरस्वतिमाहात्म्य� दारुणेयं क्षयावहा �
रणेऽत्� सा महायाम� स्वय� साफल्यमक्षति || [ [gadā''rasvatimāhātm dāruṇeya� kṣavahā |
raṇe'tra sā mahāmā svaya� sāphalyamakṣati || [
]
VIII. 57]
This verse can be split into four pādas as below:
1) गदाऽऽरस्वतिमाहात्म्य�
[gadā''rasvatimāhātm
]
3) रणेऽत्� सा महायाम
[raṇe'tra sā mahāma
]
2) दारुणेयं क्षयावहा
[dāruṇeya� kṣavahā
]
4) स्वय� साफल्यमक्षति
[svaya� sāphalyamakṣati
]

or vice-versa in the methods mentioned below. The method of reading of
the first pāda is thus :
तत्राद्यापङ्क्तिलिखितान् चतुर� वर्णान� क्रमेण पठित्व�
तुरीयपङ्कतयन्त्यकोष्टलिखितवर्णम् पञ्चमं कृत्वा
तृतीयपङ्क्त्यन्त्यकोष्टगतवर्णम� षष्ठ� कृत्वा द्वितीयपडू�
कोष्ठगतवर्णं सप्तमं कृत्वा आद्यपङ्कतन्त्यकोष्टगतवर्णमष्ठं
विधा� पठने आद्य� पादः समग्रो निष्पद्यते � [tatrādpaṅktilikhitān caturo varṇān krameṇa paṭhitvā
