Summary

The people having been dismissed, the Ynca went to a town of the same province of Aymara called Huaquirca, which now contains more than 2,000 houses; whence he sent messengers to the Caciques of Uma-suyu, commanding them to appear before him, that he might decide upon their differences with the Aymaras respecting pasture grounds, and that he would wait for them at Huaquirca, to give them laws and ordinances according to which they might live as reasonable beings, instead of killing each other like brute beasts for so small a matter as the pasturage of their flocks: for that it was notorious there was abundant room for the flocks of both nations. The Curacas of Umu-suyu, having assembled to consider their reply, for the message had been addressed to them as a body, replied that they had no need to go to the Ynca; that if he had need of them he might seek them in their own land, when they would await his coming with arms in their hands; that they knew not that he was a child of the Sun, nor that the Sun was God, nor did they want to know; that they had their own gods, with whom they were at accord, and that they desired no other gods.
