Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
But when another has settled the price of immovable property, is it bought by the neighbour who pays that price, or by the other who settled the price? To this doubt he says "nirṇīta" and the rest. When there is an attempt to buy immovable property, even when the price has been settled by another, a man other than the neighbour, if the neighbour gives (rāti) that price, the price of the immovable property settled by the other, then the other, the man who is not a neighbour, does not become the buyer; the neighbour himself buys it, paying the price: that is the sense.
