Atha kho āyasmā assagutto sakkaṃ devānamindaṃ etadavoca "ayaṃ kho, mahārāja, jambudīpe sāgalanagare milindo nāma rājā vitaṇḍavādī durāsado duppasaho puthutitthakarānaṃ aggamakkhāyati, so bhikkhusaṅghaṃ upasaṅkamitvā diṭṭhivādena pañhaṃ pucchitvā bhikkhusaṅghaṃ viheṭhetī"ti.

” Venerable Assagutta said: “Sire, this King Milinda, in the town of Sāgala in India, is a disputant hard to equal, hard to overcome. He approaches the Order of monks and worries that Order by asking questions by means of professing a wrong view.”
|
And the venerable Assagutta replied: ‘There is, O king, in India, in the city of Sāgala, a king named Milinda. As a disputant he is hard to equal, harder still to overcome, he is the acknowledged superior of all the founders of the various schools of thought. He is in the habit of visiting the members of the Order and harassing them by questions of speculative import.’

И достопочтенный Ашвагупта сказал Шакре, главе богов: «Государь! В городе Сагале на материке Джамбу есть царь по имени Милинда. В спорах несравненный и непревзойденный, он выделяется среди многих учителей разных толков. Он является в общину, задает каверзные46 вопросы и этим вредит общине».
