On the fifth day, the King dresses up in the sovereign’s gown and parades around
the city. On the sixth day, the King takes an ‘oath of allegiance’ (a solemn promise
from the new King, invoking a divine witness in regards to his future actions and
behaviour towards his people and country) and puts out the light of the ‘victory candle’
(on the first day of the coronation, the crowned King lights the ‘victory candle’,
a representation of invoking and inviting gods to witness and inaugurate the
ceremony). Finally, the King ends the ceremony by giving alms and gifts to monks
at the end of the ceremony as an act of merit-making.
