Venerable Nāgasena went to the Asoka Monastery, approached Venerable Dhammarakkhita and told him the reason for his arrival. In three months, after only one recitation, he memorized, under the tutelage of Venerable Dhammarakkhita, the three divisions of the Buddha’s word.18 He spent the next three months reflecting on the meaning of what he had memorized.

But Nāgasena went on to the Asoka Park to Dhamma-rakkhita. And after saluting him, and telling him on what errand he had come, he learnt by heart, from the mouth of the venerable Dhamma-rakkhita, the whole of the three baskets of the Buddha’s word in three months, and after a single recital, so far as the letter (that is, knowing the words by heart) was concerned.. And in three months more he mastered the spirit (that is, the deeper meaning of the sense of the words).

И вот достопочтенный Нагасена пришел в ашоковую рощу к достопочтенному Дхармаракшите и рассказал о причине своего прихода. И за три месяца он выучил от достопочтенного Дхармаракшиты с одного слушания Три Корзины Речений Просветлённого, а еще через три месяца усвоил и смысл.
