Text

記錄彌蘭陀王與那先長老對話內容的典籍,成書年代應晚於對話發生之時,其中部分段落被認為是後人增補。

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.
