In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchGoats are denoted by the Sanskrit term Chāga, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Not knowing the highest reality, which is situated within himself, the confused man goes astray [looking for it] in the scriptures, [just as] the foolish herdsman looks in a well while the [missing] goat (岵) is [being held] under his armpit. [...]�.

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusA Goat can be denoted by the Sanskrit term Basta (whose smell is said to resemble the odor of certain elephants), according to the 15th century Matangalila composed by Nilakantha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 8, “on marks of character”]: �12. Delighted with leavings (of food), right easily frightened, having a sour, acrid odor or that of a goat (basta), of bones, or of a crab [śܰ峾ٳܱīԻ�], wrathful, treacherous (changeable, ‘easy to be parted�), cowardly, ungrateful, this base elephant is a Śudra (serf) in character�.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: academia.edu: The Structure and Meanings of the Heruka MaṇḍalaThe Goat is associated with the Yoginī (female deity) named Ajakī, being situated in the ѱ徱ī, according to the 10th century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, the 徱ī refers to one of the three divisions of the -ṭa (‘dharma layer�), situated in the ܰ첹ṇḍ. The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs [viz., Ajakī] and Vīras are yellow in color; the shapes of their faces are in accordance with their names [e.g., Goat]; they have four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (Բ) are collected indepently.
