ABSTRACT
Capac Yupanqui being dead in the way that has been related, he was succeeded in the lordship by Inca Rocca his son; and a vast concourse of people came from all directions to be present at the ceremony of his taking the fringe. The Indians relate that when the ears of this Inca were bored, to place in them those round plates which are worn by the Orejones to the day, one of them hurt him very much. The Inca himself, owing to the fright he received, bowed his head until the left ear touched the ground, from which flowed much blood. Suddenly he heard a great noise of running water underneath that place. Garcilasso says that Inca Rocca made the bridge over the Apurimac, and conquered Curampa, and the tribe of Chancas in Andahuaylas. Inca Rocca is said, by Garcilasso de la Vega, to have founded schools at Cuzco, and to have built his own palace near them.
