धारणिक असम्निधाने वा विनाश भयाद् उद्गत अर्घं धर्मस्थ अनुज्ञातो विक्रीणीत, आधि पाल प्रत्ययो वा ॥

When there is any rise in the value of the pledge or when it is apprehended that it may be depriciated or lost in the near future, the pledgee may, with permission from the judges (dharmasthas), or on the evidence furnished by the officer in charge of pledges (ádhipálapratyayo vá), sell the pledge either in the presence of the debtor or under the presidency of experts who can see whether such apprehension is justified.
