Having marched his triumphant host onward from Milad, Alexander set his course toward the kingdom of Kannauj, leaving his heavy treasuries behind. As his grand army drew near the borders of Fur, the monarch ordered a letter penned—a missive filled with fire, stern warnings, and warlike fury. Thus began the scroll: 'From Shahanshah Alexander, son of Philip—brightener of victory's blaze and master of bounty—to Fur of India, sovereign of Sind and arrayer of vast armies. First, praise be to the Eternal Creator, who exalts whom He wills and brings low those who fall from His grace.' The letter spoke of the fleeting nature of earthly thrones, urging that a good name be sought above all shame, before issuing a terrifying ultimatum: King Fur must cast aside dark pride, dismount his lofty throne, eschew consultation with his priests, and hasten to tender his submission. Should he dare disobey, an army swift and destructive as roaring flame would consume his lands, leaving him to wallow in bitter regret. Sealed with the royal signet, the scroll was entrusted to an eloquent envoy versed in both diplomacy and warcraft. Upon arriving at the radiant court of the proud Indian king, the envoy was granted audience, and Fur received him with solemn dignity, seating the messenger beside his imperial throne.
