When any doubt arises regarding what should be done, it should be settled by the injunction of the scriptures which ten persons versed in Vedic scriptures or three of those who frequently recite them may declare.
दश वा वेदशास्त्रज्ञास्त्रयो वा धर्मपाठकाः। यद् ब्रू युः कार्य उत्पन्ने स धर्मो धर्मसंशये॥
