Of the time in which Inga Huira Cocha began to reign, and of his deeds and achievements

HUIRA COCHA was the Inga of the greatest valour of any. At once valiant and vigorous, he undertook arduous things, and in all he had good success. Among the Indians, he was held to be more than a man, and so they called him Huira Cocha, the name of the Creator of all things. His own name was Tupac Yupanqui. And the time of his reign was that of the sixth sun, the seventh since the Deluge having just begun, and this, according to the reckoning which I was able to verify, was . . . .,l before Columbus discovered the Indies. He began to reign at the age of thirty years.
