English:
Up Temple steps at Pachacamac a High Priest bears the Sun's golden image
Another priest carries two gold cups. Chose Women of the Sun, soldiers, courtiers, minor priests follow. Beyond in the courtyard, low-walled at Pacific's edge, the inhabitants lie flat on their faces. The Inca's armies have just taken the holy city. The victors will combine its religion with their own.

«
Subiendo los escalones del Templo de Pachacámac, el Sumo Sacerdote lleva la imagen del Sol realizada en oro.
Tras él, un sacerdote asistente lleva una bebida sagrada en dos tazas de oro, más atrás vienen las Mujeres Escogidas del Sol, cortesanos, soldados y sacerdotes menores. Los habitantes se encuentran de bruces. El ejército Inca acaba de conquistar la ciudad costera y tomar el sagrado Templo de Pachacámac. En lugar de abolir la religión existente, la combinaron con la propia. »
