'The names of roads and couriers are derived from their destination.' For example, all the roads which proceeded in the direction of Mathurā, even though they were situated in different towns, were labelled *Māthura* by the people of each locality. Thus the *Māthura* road of each city passed through its *Māthura* gate.
