LOS OJOS DE IMAYMANA, ETC. 469 
«The Eyes, owrv—buds of All that may be.» 
This interpretation carries with it the idea of protoplastic germs, 
and it is curious that semicivilised Indians should have fixed on 
these discs or circlesas symbols of Nature’s reproductive powers, 
always of course in connexion with the aid of the Water-god. 
The plate often referred to contains other symbols representing 
well known Deities of the Peruvian mythologies, as for instance 
Pachamama, whose cult still exists in Catamarca etc.; it is therefore 
quite evident that the Aymara Yamqui Salcamayhua, as Markham 
prefers to call him, was simply jotting down well known conven- 
tional symbols used to represent Gods of the Peruvian Olympus. 
Such being tbe case we are justified in asserting that these «Eyes» 
are the symbol or attribute of a well known Deity, and that it was 
the very Viracocha or God called /Jmaymana by Father Molina. 
Imaymana is indeed a wonderful attribute of the God Vivacocha. 
It represents his fecundating power, the cosmogonic idea of the 
containing and the contained. 
What has been said suffices to make us acquainted with the God 
Imaymana, one of the attributes of the Water-God, whose symbol 
or ideogram—Rapfiauin—is-_one link in the chain of the American 
Sacred Language. 
Let us new pass on to consider Aticci Viracocha’s second at- 
tribute, emanation or son—Zocapo Viracocha—The God Tocapo. 
The fact of his being called Viracocha makes it clear that he 
was also reckoned a god. What then is the meaning of his own 
name Tocapo? According to Molinait signifies—The Maker (Hace- 
dor), evidently another mytho-cosmogonical word which must not 
be pushed too far etymologicaily. The natural interpretation (gran- 
ting a Quichua or Aymara origin to the word) is this—Lord (Apz) 
of the Window or Opening (Zoco or Tocco) a name which at once 
frings to our mind the well known Semitic Baal-Peor, of unsavo- 
ury surroundings, 
These Zoco or Windows are absent as symbols in Salcamayhua’s 
plate, but he gives a separate descripti6n and drawings of them in 
p. p. 244 and 245: see fig. 3, and Markham’s translatio6n in Rites and 
Laws p. 77. 
These Joco or Openings are represented by lineal squares, one 
within the other, to the number of three. The Yamqui mentions a 
certain Zocay-Capac, which is only another way of saying Zocapu 
—King or Lord of the Opening.
