13.4.1.5
tebhyo'dhvaryuścātuṣprāśyam brahmaudanaṃ nirvapati tasyoktam brāhmaṇaṃ caturaḥ pātrāṃścaturo'ñjalīṃścaturaḥ prasṛtāndvādaśavidhaṃ dvādaśa māsāḥ saṃvatsaraḥ sarvaṃ saṃvatsaraḥ sarvamaśvamedhaḥ sarvasyāptyai sarvasyāvaruddhyai
The Adhvaryu prepares for them a priest's mess of rice sufficient for four persons: the meaning of this has been explained. Four bowlfuls, four double handfuls, four handfuls: twelvefold this is--twelve months are a year, and the year is everything, and the Asvamedha is everything--thus it is in order to his gaining and securing everything.
