Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
Of property that was divided and afterwards of their own will put together again, he tells the redivision by the rule for undivided property, with "vibhaktam" and the rest. If property, wealth, that was divided has been of their own will joined (saṁsṛṣṭa), mixed together, then the heirs should share that wealth again by the rule for the undivided.
