English term or phrase: concerning which more presently
"Our Brahman is strong in love-making; he complains of the pains of separation in this phenomenal universe; he revels in youth, "twin-brother to mirth," and beauty which has illuminating powers; he foully reviles old age and he alternately praises and abuses the sex, concerning which more presently."

tema que en breve lo trataremos en más detalle
Explanation:
it's a normal way of writing, the writer is just writing briefly because he knows you will understand him. If you write it in full it's as follows:

"concerning which we shall write more, presently" (en breve)

Explanation:
The other suggestions are not incorrect, except for a bit of failed grammar. Stylistically I prefer this rendition, more succinct and correct, to my mind! :--)
