This word \*Mārwārī\*, properly a man of the Mārwār \[Skt. \*maru\*, ‘desert’\], or Jodhpur country in Rājputāna, is used in many parts of India as synonymous with Banya (see BANYAN) or Sowcar, from the fact that many of the traders and money-lenders have come originally from Mārwār, most frequently Jains in religion. Compare the Lombard of medieval England, and the \*caorsino\* of Dante’s time. - [Previous: c10.9258](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9258) - [Next: c10.9260](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9260) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9259](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.9259) · Pramāṇa
