[es]tá dicho, poníanle en la mano un vaso verde lleno de agua, y con un ramo de salce rociaba a todos con aquella agua, como quien echa agua bendita. Y cuando entre año alguno destos deste oficio quería por su devoción hacer fiesta a este dios, daba relación dello a sus sátrapas, y todos ellos llevaban a un sátrapa vestido con los ornamentos deste dios, como su imagen, y por donde iba, iba echando el agua, rociando a los que estaban por donde pasaban con un ramo de salce, como quien echa agua bendita.
\nLlegado, poníanle en su lugar y hacían algunas cerimonias en su presencia, rogándole que hiciese mercedes en aquella casa. El que hacía esta fiesta daba de comer y beber al dios y a los que con él iban, y a todos los que había convidado. Esto hacía en agradecimiento de la prosperidad y riqueza que ya tenía, teniendo entendido que este dios se la había dado. Y a este propósito hacía este convite, y en él se hacían danzas y cantares a su modo, a honra deste dios, porque le tuviese por agradecido, y gastaba todo cuanto tenía. Y decía: "No se me da nada de no quedar con nada, con tal que1 sea mi dios servido desta fiesta, y si me quisiere dar más o dexarme sin nada, hágase como él quisiere".
\nDicho esto cubría con una manta blanca al que iba por imagen deste dios, y así se iba para su templo con los que habían venido con él. Ido él, comían el que hacía convite y los parientes.
\nEstos oficiales de hacer petates y otras cosas de juncia tenían cuidado de ataviar y componer y barrer y limpiar y sembrar juncia en el templo deste dios. Tení[an]

they would place in his hand a green vase filled with water, and he would sprinkle this water on everyone with a willow branch, like one who sprinkles holy water. When, in the course of the year, someone who practiced this craft [of mat making]—moved by his devotion—wanted to celebrate a festival for this god, he would report this to his satraps, and all of them would bring along a satrap who was dressed with this god’s adornments, [representing] his image; and wherever he passed, he would go sprinkling water, showering those who were [on the road] through which he was passing with a willow branch, like one who is sprinkling holy water.
\nOnce he arrived [at the devotee’s house], they would put him in his place and perform some ceremonies in his presence, begging him to grant favors to that [particular] house. The one who organized this festival would give food and drink to the god and to those who accompanied him and to all the people whom he had invited. And he did all of this in thanksgiving for the prosperity and wealth that he was already enjoying, believing that this god had granted it to him. And this was the purpose of organizing this feast, in which they performed dances and songs according to their custom, to honor this god so that he would consider him a grateful man. And he spent everything that he had, saying, “Nothing is given to me, so as to keep nothing, as long as my god is pleased with this festival. And if he would like to give me more or leave me with nothing, let it be as he pleases.”
\nHaving said this, he would cover with a white mantle the one who represented this god, who would take leave in this guise for his temple with those who had come with him. Once he had left, the one who had organized the feast and his relatives would eat.
\nThese artisans of petates and other things made of reeds took good care to adorn, arrange, sweep, clean, and sow reeds in the temple of this god. They also took care
