5. Let the servants never cease the song in the Hall of Flames; let them rejoice greatly, let them dance wonderfully. 6. Call ye for the woman with abundant hair, whose care is the mist and the rain, call ye for her. _Notes._ _Ixcocauhqui_, "the Yellow Faced," was the Mexican God of Fire. Torquemada gives as his synonyms _Xiuhtecutli_, "Lord of Fire," and _Huehueteotl_, "the Ancient God" (_Monarquia Indiana_, Lib. VI., cap. 28). Elsewhere he identifies him with the Sun-god (_Ibid._, Lib. XIV., cap. 4). Sahagun describes his annual festival (_Hist._, Lib. II., cap. 38), and gives another of his names, _Cuecaltzin_, a reverential form of _cuezalotl_, flame (_Hist._, Lib. I., cap. 13). The _tzonmolco_ so often referred to in this hymn was the sixty-fourth edifice in the great temple of Tenochtitlan, and was devoted to the worship of Ixcocauhqui (Sahagun). The word literally means "the place of spreading hairs," the rays or ornaments spreading from the head of the statue of the god representing flames (Sahagun). The reference in v. 6 seems to be to one of the women who were sacrificed at the festival, as related by Sahagun (Lib. II., App.). VII. _Mimixcoa icuic._ 1.
