second son, or if there was one who was incapable, the duty was to be passed on to the nearest and ablest relation. And that those to come might have a precedent or example, Manco Ccapac made the first _ayllu_ and called it _Chima Panaca Ayllu_, which means the lineage descending from Chima, because the first to whom he left his _ayllu_ or lineage in charge was named _Chima_, and _Panaca_ means "to descend." It is to be noted that the members of this _ayllu_ always adored the statue of Manco Ccapac, and not those of the other Incas, but the _ayllus_ of the other Incas always worshipped that statue and the others also. It is not known what was done with the body, for there was only the statue. They carried it in their wars, thinking that it secured the victories they won. They also took it to Huanacauri, when they celebrated the _huarachicos_ of the Incas. Huayna Ccapac took it with him to Quito and Cayambis, and afterwards it was brought back to Cuzco with the dead body of that Inca. There are still those of this _ayllu_ in Cuzco who preserve the memory of the deeds of Manco Ccapac. The principal heads of the _ayllu_ are now Don Diego Chaco, and Don Juan Huarhua Chima. They are Hurin-cuzcos. Manco Ccapac died in the year 665 of the nativity of Christ our Lord, Loyba the Goth reigning in Spain, Constantine IV being Emperor. He lived in the Ynti-cancha, House of the Sun. [Note 58: Sarmiento says that every sovereign Inca had a familiar demon or idol which he called _guauqui_, and that the _guauqui_ of Manco Ccapac was the _indi_ or bird already mentioned. This is corroborated by Polo de Ondegardo. The word seems to be the same as _Huauqui_, a brother.] XV. COMMENCES THE LIFE OF SINCHI ROCCA, THE SECOND INCA. It has been said that Manco Ccapac, the first Inca, who tyrannized over the natives of the valley of Cuzco, only subjugated the Huallas, Alcabisas, Sauaseras, Culunchima, Copalimayta and the others mentioned above, who were all within the circuit of what is now the city of Cuzco. To this Manco Ccapac succeeded his son Sinchi Rocca, son also of Mama Occlo, his mother and aunt[59]. He succeeded by nomination of his father, under the care of the _ayllus_ who then all lived together, but not by election of the people, they were all either in flight, prisoners, wounded or banished, and were all his mortal enemies owing to the cruelties and robberies exercised upon them by his father Manco Ccapac.
