Milindapañha

Text

Le compte rendu du dialogue entre le roi Milinda et l’ancien Nāgasena, probablement compilé après que la conversation elle-même eut lieu et contenant des passages désormais considérés comme des ajouts ultérieurs

Records the conversation between Milinda and Nāgasena.

It is believed that the book was compiled later than the time of the conversation and that many of the recorded conversations are spurious.

For a discussion see Questions of King Milinda,¹ vol.i.xxv f.

There is a Singhalese translation to it, which is called the Saddharmādāsaya, written in the eighteenth century by a monk named Sumaṅgala. P.L.C.274.
