Meaning
The commentary says Vasiṣṭha now removes the doubt that Rāma might lack these qualities. The wealth of virtues is called unbroken: Rāma does not have some of them in part, he has them whole. So he is the fit hearer described in the last two verses, and the teaching is offered to him directly.
