mējabāna (मेजबान).—c ( P) A person invited to an entertainment or a meal, a guest. 2 fig. A term of reproach for an indolent and unproductive member of a household. 3 A host or an entertainer. This sense, although the proper sense, is but little known in Maraṭhi; unless, indeed, the recent sense of Hotel-keeper or Provedore of the Traveler's bungalow be a form of it--affirmed however, by some, to arise from Messman.
