According to Mushtaki, ‘From Gaur to the confines of Oudh, a road was made having *sarais*, gardens, and shady and fruit-bearing trees. Another road with gardens and *sarais* from Benares to the country of Mandu near to Burhanpur. Another road with gardens and *sarais* from Agra to Jodhpur. Another from Bayana to Jaunpur and to Ajmir. There were 1,700 *sarais*, and at every *sarai* there were pairs of horses ready, so that news travelled 300 *kos* in one day.’⁵
