Champu means a combination of poetry and prose. A champu kavya consists of a mixture of prose and poetry passage with verses interspersed among prose section. We can see champu kavya right from vedic period.The beginning of this champu parampara can be traced back to taittiriya and maitrayaniya samhita of krishna yajurveda and the mixed form of prose &verse is appeared in the atharvana veda also. In the same way we can see in brahmanical texts. A mixed style of prose can be found in the Taittariya, Maitrayani and Kata Samhitas of Krishnayajurvedia, and in the Brahmanical texts like Kathopanishad, Prastnopanishat, and Mundakopanishads.
