1 Ibid.
68 About roads and land communications Yuan/ Chwang does not tell us much. The teachings of Indian political thinkers always emphasised the neces-i sity of building good roads and planting banyan!
trees to give shelter. Sukraniti^ lays it down that Raja-Margas, or king's highways, should be built for marketable commodities. Roads were to be con- structed like the back of a tortoise (high in the middle) and were to be provided with bridges wherever required. It was a duty of prisoners to... mend the roads with gravel. Rest-houses for men and beasts were to be constructed at stated intervals. That this was not merely the theory but also the practice can be Seen from the fact mentioned by Yuan Chwang that, Harsha built hospices provided with food and drink on; all the highways throughout his dominions. ^ The very- fact that the pilgrim was able to move about freely all over India shows that the roads were kept up in good condition. The frequent progress of the king up and down the country, of which Yuan Chwang has given us a good picture^, necessitated the building and upkeep of roads in an excellent condition.
