yó vái saṃyántaṃ nā́ma ṛtúṃ véda | saṃyatī́ṃ saṃyatīm evā́priyasya bhrā́tṛvyasya śríyam ā́ datte | eṣá vái saṃyán nā́ma ṛtúr yád ajáḥ pañcáudanáḥ | nír evā́priyasya bhrā́tṛvyasya śríyaṃ dahati bhávāty ātmánā | yó ’jáṃ pañcáudanáṃ dákṣiṇā-jyótiṣaṃ dádāti
Whoso, in sooth, knoweth by name the season called Saṃyant, he draweth unto himself—yea, the very Saṃyatī— the splendour of the unfriendly rival. This, verily, is the season Saṃyant, 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.
जो संयन्त नाम का समय जानता है, वो भी अपने दुश्मन की चमक खुद ले लेता है। यह समय भी बकरे और पाँच किस्म के चावल से बने खीर का है। जो यह दान देता है, उसकी अपनी चमक बन जाती है।
