[77] Molina often mentions the worship of this hero, Huanacauri. Garcilasso de la Vega refers to Huanacauri four times (i, 65, 66; ii, 169, 230). He says that the first settlement made in the valley of Cuzco was on the hill called Huanacauri, and that a very sacred temple was built there. Molina refers to the sacrifices offered up there. The idol of Huanacauri was a great figure of a man, “their principal _huaca_, the brother of Manco Ccapac, whence they descend”. The ceremonies of arming youths were a good deal connected with this Huanacauri idol. [78] _Mucha_, “adoration”, from _Muchani_, “I worship”. [79] _Sasi_, “a fast”. See _G. de la Vega_, Part I, lib. vii, cap. 6. [80] This word, in Quichua, is used also for a kind of cloak. [81] _Puhura_ is “a feather”, and _chuccu_, “a cap”. The distinctive head-dress of each tribe was called _chuccu_ or _umachuccu_. [82] The word _Manco_ has no meaning in Quichua. _Ccapac_ means “rich”, and, as applied to the sovereign, it is explained as signifying rich in power and in virtues. [83] _Ccuri_, “gold”; “_cancha_”, “a place”. [84] Sinchi. [85] Colonists. [86] Cap. xxxviii, in which he refers his reader to this second part. He observes that the Yncas were very intelligent and learned, without having letters, which had not been invented in the Indies.--See p. 136 of my Translation. [87] _Caman_ is a particle which, when added to a noun, denotes a task or occupation. _Nocap-camay_ means “my task”; _Campa-camayqui_, “your task”. It also means fitness, as _Apupac-caman_, “fit to be a chief”. _Camayoc_ is a word attached to offices and occupations. _Siray-camayoc_, “a tailor”; _Llacta-camayoc_, “a village officer”. _Pucara-camayoc_, “a castellan”. [88] A farm. [89] In August 1550. [90] _Quipu-camayoc_, the officer in charge of the records. [91] _Taqui_ is “music”; _Taquiz_, “a song”. The _taquis_ was an assembly to hear the legendary songs. [92] It was the mummified body, as will be seen presently. [93] Twenty years after this was written, the Licentiate Polo de Ondegardo discovered where five of these figures were concealed, which proved to be the actual mummies of the Yncas and their wives, dressed in their clothes. Ondegardo, who was corregidor of Cuzco, showed them to Garcilasso de la Vega in 1570. One mummy was that of the Ynca Uira-ccocha; the second of Tupac Ynca Yupanqui; the third of Huayna Ccapac; the fourth of Mama Runtu, queen of Uira-ccocha; the fifth of Ccoya Mama Ocllo, mother of Huayna Ccapac. They were perfect, wanting neither hair, nor eye-lashes, and were dressed in the clothes they wore when alive, with the _llautu_ or fringe. They were seated with the arms crossed on the breast, and eyes cast down.
