bhistī (भिस्ती).—m ( P Heavenly:--high regard and esteem being awarded to the supplier of water. Transmuted, anglice, into Beastie.) A carrier of water in a skin under his arm. Now, however, bhistī has obtained the designating prefixes masaka & baila, as masakabhistī & bailabhistī; and bhistī singly is used indifferently of the two.
