The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 11: The royal mandate regarding the regency set forth.

11

(When appointing Chandra to the new post), Chach told him: “When the God of Selaij has made us worthy of the crown and throne, and has destined us for rulers of a nation, it is incumbent on us to endeavour, in the highest degree, to treat kindly the innumerable subjects under our sway, who are a trust (committed to our care) by the Creator, and to keep them contented and happy by administering justice and equity in such a manner that the strong should not oppress the weak, and we might not be reproached in the august court of God for lack of judgment or denial of redress. My brother Chandra, the crown of all the ascetics, is hereby appointed to this great and delicate office, and he is directed to carry it on whether we are present or absent, and all the people, nobles, commons, and soldiers should render him obedience and in no way deviate from his commands or his guidance.”
