  and 
  four 
  sisters 
  (called 
  Mama, 
  "mother"). 
  The 
  men's 
  names 
  were: 
  

   Manco 
  (Ayar 
  maSko) 
  ; 
  Ayar 
  awqa, 
  "warrior"; 
  Ayar 
  kaci, 
  "salt"; 
  

   and 
  Ayar 
  oco, 
  "chili 
  pepper". 
  The 
  women's 
  names 
  were: 
  Mama 
  

   oqlyo, 
  "pure"; 
  Mama 
  *huaco; 
  Mama 
  ipa 
  qora, 
  "aunt 
  weed"; 
  and 
  

   Mama 
  rawa. 
  These 
  eight 
  brothers 
  and 
  sisters 
  gathered 
  a 
  following 
  

   and 
  set 
  off 
  on 
  the 
  road 
  to 
  Cuzco 
  in 
  search 
  of 
  new 
  and 
  better 
  farm 
  lands. 
  

   They 
  moved 
  slowly, 
  staying 
  for 
  a 
  year 
  or 
  two 
  at 
  various 
  towns 
  along 
  

   the 
  way. 
  At 
  one 
  such 
  place 
  (tampo-kiro, 
  "tambo 
  tooth"), 
  a 
  son 
  

   (named 
  Sinci 
  roq'a) 
  was 
  born 
  to 
  Manco 
  and 
  Mama 
  oqlyo. 
  During 
  

   the 
  journey, 
  Ayar 
  kaci 
  made 
  himself 
  greatly 
  feared 
  by 
  his 
  feats 
  of 
  

   strength. 
  He 
  climbed 
  the 
  hill 
  of 
  Huanacauri 
  (Wanakawri), 
  and 
  

   hurled 
  slingstones 
  at 
  neighboring 
  hills 
  with 
  such 
  force 
  that 
  he 
  opened 
  

   ravines 
  where 
  none 
  had 
  been 
  before. 
  36 
  His 
  brothers 
  and 
  sisters, 
  deter- 
  

   mined 
  to 
  get 
  rid 
  of 
  him, 
  persuaded 
  him 
  to 
  return 
  to 
  the 
  cave 
  (qhapoq 
  

   t'oqo) 
  and 
  bring 
  out 
  the 
  sacred 
  llama 
  of 
  the 
  Inca 
  (nap 
  a), 
  some 
  gold 
  

   cups, 
  and 
  some 
  seed 
  which 
  they 
  had 
  left 
  there. 
  They 
  sent 
  a 
  man 
  with 
  

   him 
  to 
  shut 
  him 
  into 
  the 
  cave 
  when 
  he 
  had 
  entered 
  it, 
  which 
  was 
  

   accomplished 
  as 
  planned. 
  He 
  has 
  remained 
  sealed 
  in 
  the 
  mountain. 
  

   The 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  party 
  then 
  decided 
  that 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  men 
  should 
  under- 
  

   take 
  a 
  specific 
  function. 
  Ayar 
  oco 
  remained 
  at 
  Huanacauri, 
  where 
  

   he 
  turned 
  himself 
  into 
  stone 
  and 
  became 
  the 
  cult 
  object 
  of 
  the 
  Inca 
  

   shrine 
  there, 
  having 
  first 
  given 
  Manco 
  instructions 
  for 
  performing 
  the 
  

   men's 
  maturity 
  rite. 
  Ayar 
  awqa 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  Cuzco, 
  which 
  

   had 
  been 
  chosen 
  for 
  settlement, 
  and 
  turned 
  himself 
  into 
  a 
  field- 
  

   guardian 
  huaca 
  (hence 
  he 
  was 
  called 
  qosqo 
  wanka, 
  "field 
  guardian 
  

   of 
  Cuzco"). 
  Manco 
  was 
  left 
  to 
  found 
  the 
  new 
  town. 
  

  

  The 
  site 
  of 
  Cuzco 
  had 
  been 
  chosen 
  with 
  the 
  aid 
  of 
  a 
  golden 
  staff 
  

   which 
  the 
  brothers 
  carried 
  for 
  testing 
  the 
  ground. 
  They 
  found 
  the 
  

   land 
  just 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  modern 
  city 
  to 
  be 
  fertile 
  and 
  well 
  suited 
  for 
  cul- 
  

   tivation 
  and 
  decided 
  to 
  build 
  their 
  houses 
  where 
  the 
  Temple 
  of 
  the 
  Sun 
  

   was 
  later 
  built. 
  As 
  the 
  whole 
  valley, 
  however, 
  was 
  already 
  occupied 
  

   by 
  other 
  peoples, 
  the 
  ancestors 
  of 
  the 
  Inca 
  had 
  to 
  take 
  it 
  by 
  force. 
  

   Near 
  the 
  fertile 
  fields 
  they 
  had 
  chosen 
  lived 
  a 
  small 
  tribe 
  called 
  Hualla 
  

   (Walya, 
  Gualla) 
  ; 
  where 
  they 
  wanted 
  to 
  build 
  their 
  houses 
  lived 
  an 
  

   ayllu 
  (sawasiray) 
  ; 
  and 
  just 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  lived 
  the 
  Alcahuiza, 
  the 
  most 
  

   powerful 
  of 
  the 
  indigenous 
  peoples. 
  Mama 
  Huaco 
  attacked 
  the 
  Hu- 
  

   alla 
  with 
  a 
  single 
  heavy 
  bolas 
  weight 
  on 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  a 
  cord 
  and 
  slew 
  one 
  

   Hualla. 
  She 
  cut 
  out 
  his 
  entrails 
  and 
  blew 
  air 
  into 
  his 
  lungs, 
  a 
  grue- 
  

   some 
  spectacle 
  which 
  sent 
  the 
  terrified 
  Hualla 
  fleeing 
  from 
  the 
  valley 
  

   of 
  Cuzco 
  to 
  escape 
  the 
  ferocious 
  invaders. 
  After 
  several 
  skirmishes, 
  

   the 
  ayllu 
  sawasiray 
  was 
  also 
  driven 
  out, 
  and 
  Manco 
  and 
  the 
  four 
  

   women 
  founded 
  their 
  town 
  at 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  the 
  Temple 
  of 
  the 
  Sun,

  This 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  story, 
  minus 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  atab 
  kaci, 
  is 
  still 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  folklore. 
  In 
  1941, 
  an 
  old 
  

   Indian 
  living 
  near 
  Huanacauri 
  told 
  me 
  that 
  in 
  ancient 
  times 
  an 
  awki 
  (hill 
  spirit) 
  stood 
  on 
  that 
  hill 
  and 
  

   made 
  the 
  neighboring 
  ravines 
  with 
  casts 
  of 
  his 
  sling.
