Nāgasena was a Buddhist sage who lived about 100 BCE. His
answers to questions about Buddhism posed by Milinda, the Greek king of Bactria are recorded in the Milinda Paņha.
He may or may not have been the same person as Nāgārjuna.
The text also mentions Nāgasena's father Soņuttara, his teachers Rohaa, Assagutta of
Vattaniya and Dhammarakkhita of Asoka Ārāma near Pātaliputta, and another teacher named
Āyupāla from Sankheyya near Sāgala.
