1 Dr. Fleet has suggested to me the possibility of connecting the word with the Marathi sarāī, defined by Molesworth as: “The time of ripening (of fruit, corn, or other product of the earth); harvest-time, the season. Hence 2: The season or period of peculiar fitness or greatest prevalence for or of certain ceremonies, rites, or practices.” This seems to bring it back ultimately to the Sanskrit śarad.
