 and embellished his imperial city with royal palaces ; he had a large 

 part constructed of the fortress and walls of Sacsahuaman, which 

 his father had started ; he enjoined upon his son. Prince Huayna

 and he paid high signal honors to those who had served him well. He 

 died in the year 1481 and was succeeded in the Kingdom by Huayna 

 Capac, his son by Queen Mama OcUo. He enjoined upon him also 

 to make the Huancavilcas of Puerto Viejo pay dear for the treachery 

 and perfidy they had committed in murdering his captains who had 

 gone there at their request to teach them his laws and religion. He 

 was mourned by his entire Kingdom, for he had been a good king 

 and very considerate with his vassals. He uttered many famous 

 sayings, and among them, this, that the Sun could not be a god, for 

 he neither had any freedom to leave his regular course, nor did he 

 fail to be in perpetual movement. Besides his heir, he left over 200 

 sons and daughters, legitimate and out of wedlock, by his wives and 

 concubines. He was embalmed and set in the Temple of the Sun with 

 his ancestors.
