\nOtro monte cerca de Cuitláhuac, que se llama Yahualyuhqui. Todos estos montes tienen cosas notables.
\nHabiendo tratado de las fuentes, aguas y montes, parecióme lugar oportuno para tratar de las idolatrías principales antiguas que se hacían y aún hacen en las aguas y en los montes. Una idolatría muy solemne se hacía en esta laguna de México, en el lugar que se llama Ayauhcaltitlan, donde dicen que están dos estatuas de piedra grandes.

Allí tanbién ofrecían corazones de niños y otras cosas. En el medio de la laguna, donde llaman Xiuhchimalco, dicen que está un remolino donde se sume el agua de la laguna. Allí también se hacían sacrificios cada año. Echaban un niño de tres o cuatro años en una canoíta nueva, y llevábala el remolino, y tragábala a ella y al niño. Este remolino dicen que tiene un respiradero hacia Tulla, donde llaman Apazco Sanctiago, donde está un ponzanco profundo, y cuando crece la laguna, crece él, y cuando mengua la laguna, megua él. Y allí dicen que muchas veces han hallado la canoíta donde el niño ha sido echado.

Having discussed the springs, waters and mountains, this seemed to me to be the opportune place to discuss the principal ancient idolatries which were practiced and are still practiced in the waters and the mountains.
\nA very solemn idolatrous act was practiced in this Mexican lagoon in a place called Ayauhcaltitlan, where, they say, there are two large stone statues. And when the lagoon recedes [the statues] stand out of the water and the copal offerings appear, and also many broken pottery vessels which are offered there. Also they offered the hearts of children and other things there.
\nThey say that in the middle of the lagoon, which place they call Xiuhchimalco, there is a whirlpool where the water drains from the lagoon. There they also made sacrifices each year. They placed a child of three or four years in a new small boat and the whirlpool carried it away swallowing it and the child. They say this whirlpool has an outlet toward Tula, which place they call Apazco Santiago, where there is a deep pool, and when the lagoon rises, it rises; and when [the lagoon] recedes, it recedes. And there, they say, many times they have discovered the little boat in which the child had been placed.
\nThis digression by Sahagun is found in place of a Spanish translation or text for paragraphs 6 and 7 of Chapter 12 of Book XI. The corresponding Nahuatl text describes mountains (§ 6) and rocks(§ 7).↩
