śrī-śukaḥ uvāca - Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said; śrūyatām - just hear from me; mānavaḥ vamśaḥ - the dynasty of Manu; prācuryeṇa - as expansive as possible; parantapa - O King, who can subdue your enemies; na - not; śakyate - one is able; vistarataḥ - very broadly; vaktum - to speak; varṣa-śataiḥ api - even if he does so for hundreds of years.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: O King, subduer of your enemies, now hear from me in great detail about the dynasty of Manu. I shall explain as much as possible, although one could not say everything about it, even in hundreds of years.
