He expressed that Kingship was the vice-regency of God on earth (niyabat-i-khudai) and it was next only to prophethood and therefore, his actions could not be judged by nobles or the people. He said to his son Bughra Khan that Kingship was the embodiment of despotism. On another occasion he declared that it was the King’s super-human awe and status which could ensure the people’s obedience.
