Summary

After a few years Lloque Yupanqui again turned his attention to the conquest and subjugation of the Indians; for these Yncas, having from the beginning spread the report that the Sun had sent them upon earth to lead men from their wild state, and teach them civilisation, sustained this belief by adopting for their principal aim the reduction of the Indians under their sway, thus concealing their ambition with the saying that their acts were commanded by the Sun. On this occasion the Ynca ordered eight or nine thousand men of war to be assembled, and, having appointed councillors and officers for the army, he set out for the district of Colla-suyu, by the road leading to his fortress of Pucara, where Francisco Hernandez Giron was afterwards defeated in the battle called of Pucara. Thence the Ynca sent messengers to Paucar-colla and Hatun-colla, places whence the district took the name of Colla-suyu. This district is very extensive, containing many nations and tribes under the general name of Colla. The Ynca demanded that they should submit to him as others had done, and that they should not offer resistance like the men of Ayaviri, who had been punished by the Sun with famine and death for taking up arms against his children. He warned them that they would meet the same fate if they fell into a similar error. The Collas took counsel, their principal men assembling in Hatun-colla, which means great Colla.
