valmikiramayan.net Prose Commentary
Desiraju Hanumanta Rao's prose rendering with embedded explanatory notes
The source identifies the unnamed 'resplendent Brahman, ascetically powerful,' destined to redeem Rambha from her curse as Sage Vashishtha, Brahma's own creation. It notes the significance of this: even though Vishvamitra and Vashishtha are rivals throughout this legend, Vishvamitra still holds Vashishtha in high respect, evident in naming him as the one capable of undoing his own curse.
