Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
After the father's death, without the consent of all the brothers, common goods are not to be put out for gain: this he tells with "sādhāraṇāni" and the rest. When the father has died, without the consent of all the sharers one should not put common goods, goods held together, to gain, to profit.
