Summary

This fable, and the act of piety and clemency on the part of the Prince, were noised abroad amongst the nations bordering on Hatun-pacasa, where the act was performed; and caused so much wonder and admiration that many tribes voluntarily came under the dominion of the Ynca Mayta Ccapac, and reverenced him as a child of the Sun. Amongst other nations that promised obedience, were three great provinces, very rich in flocks and inhabited by a warlike race, called Cauquicura, Malloma, and Huarina, where the bloody battle was afterwards fought between Gonzalo Pizarro and Diego Centeno. The Ynca, having granted favours, as well to the conquered tribes as to those who submitted of their own accord, crossed the Desaguadero, and returned towards Cuzco. From Hatun-colla he sent an army, with the four masters of the camp, towards the west, with orders to cross the uninhabited country called Hatun-puna (to the verge of which the army of the Ynca Lloque Yupanqui had advanced), and to reduce to his service the nations that might be found on the other side, as far as the shores of the South Sea. The Ynca gave orders that, under no circumstances, should his officers offer battle, and that, if they met with people so stubborn and obstinate as not to desire to submit, except by force of arms, they were to leave them, for that such barbarians would lose more than the Ynca would gain.
