It also states that one should undertake the proper processes of \*pācanadhūpana\*, \*bodhana\* and others as known traditionally from those who are well-versed in the Veda and other \*śāstras\* through oral transmission.⁹ - [Previous: v1.c19.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c19.37) - [Next: v1.c19.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c19.39) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c19.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c19.38) · Pramāṇa
