māṇava
Entry 11953, Page 428, Col. 1
(mARava, mARava)
māṇava¦ (also mānava, MSV i.261.20), usually (as in Skt. and Pali) youth, esp. brahman youth; more commonly (again as in Skt. and Pali) °vaka. Once °va is used of an adult brahman, a king's purohita, and contrasted with his pupils, called °vaka: Divy 60.23 rājño Brahmāyur nāma brāhmaṇaḥ purohito bhaviṣyati…(25) Brahmāyur māṇavo 'śītimāṇavakaśatāni brāhmaṇakān mantrān vāca- yiṣyati. This seems to be highly exceptional.
