LINKAGE OF THE YNCAS. 429 



CHAP. xx. Of the first Ynca, and his Successors. 



The first man which the Indians report to be the begin 

 ning and first of the Yncas was Mangocapa, 1 whom they 

 imagine, after the deluge, to have issued forth of the cave 

 of Tambo, which is from Cusco about five or six leagues. 

 They say that he gave beginning to two principall races or 

 families of the Yncas, the one was called Ilanancusco, and 

 the other Vrincusco : of the first came the Lords which sub 

 dued and governed this Province, and the first whom they 

 make the head and stem of this family was called Jn- 

 garoca, 2 who founded a family or Ayllu, as they call thorn, 

 named Vicaquirao. 3 This, although he were no great 

 Lord, was served notwithstanding in vessell of gold and 

 silver. And dying, he appointed that all his treasure should 

 be imployed for the service of his body, and for the feeding 

 of his family. His successor did the like : and this grew 

 to a general! customc, as I have said, that no Ynca might 

 inherite the goods and house of his predecessor, but did 

 build a new pallace. In the time of this Ingaroca the In 

 dians had images of gold ; and to him succeeded Yaguar- 

 guaquc, 1 a very old man : they say he was called by this 

 name, which signifies teares of blood, for that being once 

 vanquished and taken by his enemies, for griefe and sorrow 

 he wept blood. He was buried in a village called Paulo, 

 which is vpon the way to Omasuyo: he founded a family 

 called Ayllu-panaca. 5 To him succeeded his sonne Yiracocha 

 ^nca, who was very rich and made much vessell of gold 

 and silver : hee founded the linage or family of Cocopanaca. 

 Gonzalo Pizarre sought out his body, for the report of the 

 great treasure was buried with him, who, after he had cruelly
