Summary

The news of the slaughter caused by this battle spread far and wide, and it was known how the Sun had punished those Indians who had refused obedience to his children the Yncas. Then, many towns which had hitherto been in arms and forming camps to resist the Ynca, when they heard of his clemency and piety, sent 10 ask for pardon and to be received as his vassals. The Ynca received them with much kindness, and ordered them to be given clothes and other presents, so that they were well satisfied, declaring on all sides that the Yncas were true children of the Sun.

The towns which then submitted to the Ynca, were those lying between Huaychu and Callamarca to the south of the road to Charcas. The Ynca advanced beyond Callamarca for twenty-four leagues along the Charcas road, as far as Caracollo, reducing all the towns on either side of the road as far as the lake of Paria.t Then he turned to the east towards the Antis, and reached the valley which is now called Chuquiapu. The meaning of this word in the general language, is a “chief lance,” or “principal lance,” which is the same thing. In that district the Ynca ordered many settlements of Indian colonists to be formed, because he saw that this valley was more suitable for the cultivation of maize than any other province amongst those which are included under the name of Colla. From the valley of Caracatu, he marched eastwards to the foot of the great snowy range of the Andes, which is thirty leagues distant from the royal road of Uma-suyu.
