9.5.7

ajó agnír ajám u jyótir āhur ajáṃ jī́vatā brahmáṇe déyam āhuḥ |
ajás támāṃsy ápa hanti dūrám asmíṃl loké śraddádhānena dattáḥ ||7||

The goat [is] Agni, and they call the goat light; they say that the goat is to be given by one living to a priest (brahmán); the goat, given in this world by one having faith, smites far away the darknesses.

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