9.5.31

yó vái náidāghaṃ nā́ma rtúṃ véda |
eṣá vái náidāgho nā́ma rtúr yád ajáḥ páñcaudanaḥ |
nír evā́priyasya bhrā́tr̥vyasya śríyaṃ dahati bhávaty ātmánā |

Whoever knows the season "torrid" (nāídāgha) by name—that verily is the season "torrid" by name, namely (yát) the goat with five rice-dishes; he indeed burns out the fortune of his unfriendly foe (bhrā́tṛvya), he thrives (bhū) by himself, who gives a goat with five rice-dishes, with the light of sacrificial gifts.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
