In Context

10When Daniel found out that the decree had been signed he went home to his upstairs room where he would pray three times a day, with the windows open facing Jerusalem. There he kneeled down, praying and thanking his God as he always did.

According to the law of the Medes and the Persians it cannot be revoked.”
