Well then, Aftcg? Vivacocha, the Pachayachachic (The World 
Teacher) was God, from whom proceeded two attributes or ema- 
nations, Jmaymana Viracocha and Tocapu Viracocha. 
Let us now see if we can identify the two latter Gods. 
Markham in his translations (1) has included Pachacuti Yamqui 
Salcamayhua’s narrative and there reproduces a very curious plate 
which should be carefully compared with the facsimile to be 
found in the 7Zves Felactones. In this plate we find, among, many 
other symbols, a series of 7 circles, fig. 1, some with points, 
others with smaller circles within, and one or two without either 
of these marks. Fig. 2. The legend which explains their meaning 
runs thus: Los ojos ymaymana foccaycu vaprauin. 
Pachacuti Salcamayhua calls these circles Ojos—eyes—in Spanish, 
and continues the prase in idiomatic Quichua, which he completes 
with three more words: 
Imaymana—Verbal derivative from a root—word /ma—thing—a 
plural form by repetition, the wa ending which is equivalent to 
the locative or instrumental case, and at times to our suffix, ble 
(Lat. bz/zs). Gonzalez Holguin gives the word and translates it 
All things—but in reality in means—the place or author (ma- 
ker) of all things. (2) 
Noccaycu—The limited plural of the possessive pronoun, first 
person. Salcamayhua was a pure Indian and wrote for Spanish 
eyes, hence he said—ouwr, not your.—By the rules of Quichua Syn- 
tax this <our» belongsto what follows, in this case rapfrauin. 
Rapnauin—Literally—The eyes of Rap. This is a compound word 
and as it stands does not occur in the current vocabularies. The 
meaning of wauin is clear enough— «Eyes»—; but the prefixed Rap 
is a difficulty. It is a root which we find in words meaning «shoot» 
or «leaf», but it may also come from a root fa in the possessive 
case, the same Fa which we find in Huyra—end of all things— 
and in feaca \3)—the main idea of which is that of «Slit» or <open- 
ing» I incline to the latter meaning, because the symbolism of 
these Water-Gods seems to have been phallic, in a bisexual sense. 
Granting then that the above explanations go to the root of the 
matter, the legend as it stands would run thus: 
(1) Aites and Laws of the Incas. See p. 84. 
(2) Thus Micuna is--eating grounded, rchwna is--sickle--tool to make hay with. 
(3) See Gonzalez Holguin im voce.
