How Inga Huira Cocha set forth from Cuzco to the conquest of the Chachapoyas and of the Paltas

THE Inga had already assembled a great many soldiers, and, as he was on the point of setting out from Cuzco, news came to him that his wife, Mama Runtu Cay had given birth to a son. The Inga was greatly delighted, because he desired one. He suspended the activities which he had in hand. He went to see the prince, and held him in his arms a very long while, forgetting himself. He returned suddenly, as if ashamed of employing himself with tenderness at a time when he had undertaken wars. He commanded that the child should receive the name Tupac Yupanqui, which was his own, and then he returned to give orders in his interest.
