Atha kho āyasmā assagutto mahāsenaṃ devaputtaṃ etadavoca "idha mayaṃ, mārisa, sadevakaṃ lokaṃ anuvilokayamānā aññatra tayā milindassa rañño vādaṃ bhinditvā sāsanaṃ paggahetuṃ samatthaṃ aññaṃ kañci na passāma, yācati taṃ, mārisa, bhikkhusaṅgho, sādhu sappurisa manussaloke nibbattitvā dasabalassa sāsanaṃ paggaṇhāhī"ti.
|
Then Venerable Assagutta spoke to Mahāsena: “My dear, we have surveyed the world including the devas but see none except you who, refuting what King Milinda says, is capable of supporting the Dispensation. The Order of monks is entreating you to be reborn in the world of men and to support and teach the Dispensation of the Buddha, Master of the Ten Powers.”15
|
Then the venerable Assagutta addressed Mahāsena the god, and said: ‘On passing in review, Lord, the worlds of gods and men, there is none but thee that we find able to succour the faith by refuting the heretical views of Milinda the king. The whole Order beseeches thee, Lord, saying: “Condescend, O worthy one, to be reborn among men, in order to lend to the religion of the Blessed One thy powerful aid.”’
|
И достопочтенный Ашвагупта сказал богородному Махасене: «О, достойный! Мы искали в целом мире с богами – и, кроме тебя, никого не нашли, кто бы помог нам пресечь речи царя Милинды и поддержать Учение. О, достойный, община просит тебя: пожалуйста, благой муж, стань поддержкой Учению Десятисильного50!»

Evaṃ vutte mahāseno devaputto "ahaṃ kira milindassa rañño vādaṃ bhinditvā buddhasāsanaṃ paggahetuṃ samattho bhavissāmī"ti haṭṭhapahaṭṭho udaggudaggo hutvā "sādhu, bhante, manussaloke uppajjissāmī"ti paṭiññaṃ adāsi.
|
When Mahāsena heard that by refuting King Milinda he would be able to support the Dispensation he felt pleased and elated and gave his consent saying: “It is good, revered sir, I will arise in the world of men.”
|
Then was Mahāsena the god overjoyed and delighted in heart at the thought that he would be able to help the faith by refuting the heresy of Milinda; and he gave them his word, and said: ‘Very well then, venerable ones, I consent to be reborn in the world of men,’
|
Услышав это, богородный Махасена, довольный-предовольный, радостный-прерадостный, подумал: «Он, значит, думает, что я смогу пресечь речи царя Милинды и поддержать Учение!» И он пообещал: «Хорошо, почтенный, я согласен родиться человеком».
