Is the Gravitational potential energy work done by Gravitational force or the External forcenot?

this image shows the calculations on the basis of which my doubt raised.

The definition of potential energy is:- "The gravitational potential energy at a point in the gravitational field is defined as the work done to bring a particle from infinity to that point in the gravitational field. The work done referred here (the one I highlighted) is done by gravitational force or an externalsome other force?? I think it is done by gravitational force because in the calculations above we took force F = gravitational force. Kindly clarify.
