Whoso, in sooth, knoweth by name the season called Pinvant, he draweth unto himself—yea, the very Pinvatī— the thriving splendour of the unfriendly rival. This, verily, is the season Pinvant, to wit, the goat with the fivefold rice-porridge. He burneth clean away the rival’s splendour and maketh it his own, even he who bestoweth the goat and the fivefold porridge, made luminous by the priestly fee.
