Summary

From Chayanta the Ynca marched to other provinces, having left a garrison and the necessary ministers to establish his idolatry and matters of finance. He first came to a region called Cherca, under which name many different nations are included, all of which are within the Colla-suyu division. The principal places are Tutora, Sipisipi, and Chaqui, to the eastward of which, towards the Antis, are other provinces called Chamùru. Here they grow the herb cuca, although it is not so good as in the districts of Cuzco. There is another province called Sacaca, and many others which I omit, to avoid prolixity. The Ynca sent the usual messages to the inhabitants.

These nations, being aware of what had happened in Chayanta, nearly all replied in the same way, saying that they considered it an auspicious thing to worship the Sun, and to have the Ynca, his child, for their lord; that they had heard of his laws and good government; and that they besought him to receive them under his protection, for that they offered their lives and property to conquer and subdue the surrounding nations; and that they prayed that war might not be made upon them, as they had destroyed their old idols, and adopted the new religion and laws.
