Text

记录弥兰陀王与那先长老对话内容的典籍,成书年代应晚于对话发生之时,其中部分段落被认为是后人增补。

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.
