The construction of bridges on roads and rivers is one of the measures quoted by Hemādri from the *Viṣṇudharmottara Purāṇa* as calculated to offer relief to the travellers (*pānthaśuśruṣā*). For gifts in the form of wells Hemādri's authorities are the *Viṣṇudharmottara*, *Nandī-Purāṇa*, *Āditya-Purāṇa*, *Viṣṇu-Purāṇa*, and *Devī-Purāṇa*.
