4.3.1.7
ubhayatomukhābhyām pātrābhyāṃ gṛhṇāti | kutastayorantā ye ubhayatomukhe tasmādayamantaḥ saṃvatsaraḥ pariplavate taṃ gṛhītvā na sādayati tasmādayamasannaḥ saṃvatsaraḥ
He draws them by means of double-mouthed cups;--for where is the end of those two (cups) that are double-mouthed? Hence this year revolves without end. When he has drawn this (libation), he does not deposit it: whence this year is ceaseless.
