On the road from Jaunpur to Allahabad there is a place marked Sarawan on the map, 29½ miles from Jaunpur and ½ miles to the east side of Mungarā Bādāhpur. Sarawan is possibly Sarāwar or Sarharpur, but if so there are now no traces there of the artificial lake mentioned by Budāyūnī. There is a Sarharpur in long. 82° 26′ and lat. 26° 16′, which may be the place.
