A moneylender, banker, or merchant.
"Down there lives a Mahajun--my father gave him a bill,
I have paid the knave thrice over, and here I'm paying him still.
He shows me a long stamp paper, and must have my land--must he?
If I were twenty years younger, he should get six feet by three"
A. C. Lyall, Old Pindaree (1861).
