Whoso, verily, knoweth by name the season called Udyant, he draweth unto himself—yea, the very Udyatī— the splendour of the unfriendly rival. This, verily, is the season Udyant, 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.
