[...] He tells how it was that he, the first son of Brahm膩, was dissatisfied with the world, withdrew to his retreat on the north side of Mount Meru, undertook tapas-penance to Vi峁ａ箛u and, by virtue of it, received a visitation by Vi峁ａ箛u himself with 艢r墨. Ekata takes that opportunity to ask the Lord how to reach the realm from which there is no rebirth. He is told that in order to reach that state he must receive and pass on the teaching which others will seek him out to hear. Therefore he must first himself be instructed in the divine learning by 艢r墨, master it, and pass it on to other sages when they in the future approach him. Thereupon Vi峁ａ箛u delegates 艢r墨 to begin the instruction of Ekata (24-43). [...]
