Summary

After some years, the Ynca Mayta Ccapac determined to set out and reduce new provinces to submission, for, from day to day, the desire to extend their dominion increased in these Yncas. Having collected all the men of war he was able, and supplied them with provisions, he marched to Pucara of Umasuyu, which was the last town in that direction acquired by his grandfather, or according to others by his father, as we have stated in its place. From Pucara he marched eastwards to a province called Llaricasa, and reduced its inhabitants without meeting any resistance, for they rejoiced to receive him as their Lord. Thence he passed on to the province of Sancava, and conquered it in the same way,. for as the fame of the deeds of the father and grandfather of this Prince had spread, the natives rejoiced to become vassals of the Yncas. These two provinces are more than fifty leagues long and thirty leagues broad in one part, twenty in another. They are very populous and rich in flocks. The Yncas, having issued the usual orders respecting religion and revenue, marched on to the province called Pacassa, and proceeded to reduce the natives to subjection, without meeting with open resistance. They all obeyed and venerated the Ynca as a child of the Sun.
