It is in the fourth chapter titled as Meṇḍakapañho that Milinda assumes a challenging tone, and confronts the monk with sharp questions. The word *meṇḍaka* stands for the horns of rams ready to fight. Milinda finally praises the debating skills of Nāgasena and agrees that Nāgasena has crushed the theories of the rivals (*paravādas*).¹⁰²
