एतांश्चान्यांश्च वृत्तान्तान्संस्मरामि बहूनपि ।
किं तेन बहुनोक्तेन सारं संक्षेपतः शृणु ॥ ४० ॥

etāṃścānyāṃśca vṛttāntānsaṃsmarāmi bahūnapi |
kiṃ tena bahunoktena sāraṃ saṃkṣepataḥ śṛṇu || 40 ||

I remember these and many other events, which will be too long to relate; but what is the use of long narrations, if you will but attend to my telling you the main substance in brief.
