Atha kho āyasmā rohaṇo āyasmantaṃ nāgasenaṃ etadavoca "na kho tyāhaṃ nāgasena ettāvatā khamāmi, atthi kho nāgasena sāgalaṃ nāma nagaraṃ, tattha milindo nāma rājā rajjaṃ kāreti, so diṭṭhivādena pañhaṃ pucchitvā bhikkhusaṅghaṃ viheṭheti, sace tvaṃ tattha gantvā taṃ rājānaṃ dametvā buddhasāsane pasādessasi, evāhaṃ taṃ khamissāmī"ti.

Venerable Rohaṇa said: “I do not forgive you, Nāgasena, on that promise. But there is a town called Sāgala where King Milinda is reigning. He is worrying the Order of monks by asking questions and by professing a wrong view. If you go there and tame that king and make him gain confidence in our teaching, then I will forgive you.”

‘I cannot forgive you, Nāgasena, simply on that promise,’ was the reply. ‘But there is a city called Sāgala, where a king rules whose name is Milinda, and he harasses the brethren by putting puzzles to them of heretical tendency. You will have earned your pardon, Nāgasena, when you shall have gone there, and overcome that king in argument, and brought him to take delight in the truth.’

А достопочтенный Рохана сказал достопочтенному Нагасене: «Нет, Нагасена, просто так я тебе не прощу. А вот есть, Нагасена, город, называемый Сагала. Царствует там царь по имени Милинда. Он задает еретические вопросы и этим вредит общине. Если ты пойдешь туда, образумишь его и обратишь к Учению, то я прощу тебя».
