ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how ambassadors from the tyrants of the Collao came to Cuzco, and of the departure of Viracocha Inca for the Collao. In the lake of Titicaca there are islands inhabited by people with large balsas, and another lord named Cari went to the islands, where he fought with the people insomuch that there were great battles between them, out of which the Cari came forth a conqueror. After the victory Cari determined to continue his advance, and arrived at Luracachi, where it is said that he fought another battle, and was equally fortunate. The Inca consulted with the Orejones and venerable councilors touching the course that ought to be adopted in the matter of the embassies that had come from the Collao; and it was decided that a reply should be sought from the oracles.
