Margayya, whose name means “the one who showed the way” (195), is a smalltime moneylender in the village of Malgudi. He conducts his business, which mostly consists of paying back small loans in order to take on bigger loans, under the banyan tree. At the beginning of the novel, Margayya believes that money is mankind’s greatest need and that from money will come all other attributes, including knowledge. Margayya prays to the Goddess Lakshmi for wealth, and eventually becomes rich by publishing a putatively sociological book about sex and domestic happiness.
