Meaning
The promise of 2.11.59–61 is taken up: from here to the end of the sarga, and then one sarga each, Vasiṣṭha will go through the four. Ekatama-āsaktyā, by attachment to any one. There is a nice touch in that word. All through this text āsakti is the problem, and here is one attachment that opens the door.
