Explanation:

For the convenience of travellers, Sher Shah built a sarai at a distance or every two kos (about eight kin) on these roads. The sarai was a fortified lodging or inn where travellers could pass the night and also keep their goods in safe custody. Separate lodgings for Hindus and Muslims were provided in these sarais. Brahmanas were appointed for providing bed and food to the Hindu travellers, and grains for their horses. Abbas Khan says, “It was a rule in these sarais that whoever entered them received provision suitable to his rank, and food and litter for his cattle, from government. Efforts were made to settle villages around the sarais, and the land was set apart in these villages for the expenses of the sarais. Every Sarai had several watchmen under the control of a Shahna (custodian).
