Upon ascending the royal throne of kingship, Sekandar proclaimed his solemn vow of righteousness, declaring that the souls of monarchs must ever be paired with wisdom. Acknowledging God as the sole Victor of the world, he reminded all that both good and evil shall pass away into the relentless grip of Time, and that true peril lies in failing to fear the Almighty. He threw open the doors of his royal court to all petitioners, declaring that whether by day or at the stroke of midnight, any seeker of justice would be heard the very moment they spoke. Because the Divine had bestowed upon him the royal glory (*farr*) and unlocked the portals of triumphant fortune, he pledged that all subjects—across mountains, deserts, seas, and cities—would share in his realm's justice. Furthermore, he remitted all taxes and tributes across the world for five full years, reserving harshness only for those who dared challenge his sovereignty, while lavishing riches upon the destitute. As these noble decrees echoed through the hall, a grand chorus of praise arose for the just sovereign of the earth, after which Sekandar retired to confer in secret council with his wisest advisers.
