Three months after the dream of the Prince Uira-ccocha Ynca (for so he was called by his people from that time forward, because of the apparition he had seen), an uncertain rumour came concerning the rebellion of the provinces of Chincha-suyu, from Antahualla onwards, which was forty leagues to the northward of Cuzco. The news came in a confused way, as is usually the case on similar occasions; so that, although the Prince Uira-ccocha had dreamt it, and thus confirmed the news in his sleep, the Ynca took no notice of it, because the rumour appeared to him to be no more than roadside gossip, or some version of the dream which should have been forgotten. But a few days afterwards the same news again reached him, though still doubtful and uncertain. For the enemy had closed the roads with great care, that their rebellion might not be known, and that they might be in sight of Cuzco before their approach was known. The third notice of the rebellion that arrived was more explicit, and it announced that the nations called Chanca, Uramarca, Villca, Utusullu, Hancohuallu, and others, had rebelled, slain the royal governors and ministers, and were marching to the capital with an army of more than 40,000 warriors.

These nations were reduced to obedience by the King Ynca Rocca, but more through terror of his arms than love of his government; and, as we before said, they remained with a feeling of rancour and hatred against the Yncas, which would break out when occasion should arise.
