[llevá]banlos los padrinos y madrinas a rodearlos por la llama de un fuego que tenían aparejado para esto, que en el latín se dice lustrare, que es cerimonia que la Sagrada Escritura reprende. Había gran vocería de los muchachos y muchachas por el agujeramiento de las orejas. Hecho esto, íbanse a sus casas y allá comían y bebían los padrinos y madrinas, todos juntos, y cantaban y bailaban. Y al mediodía los padrinos y madrinas iban otra vez al cu y llevaban sus ahijados y ahijadas. También llevaban pulcre en sus jarros. Luego comenzaban un areito, y bailando traían a cuestas a sus ahijados y ahijadas, y dábanlos a beber del pulcre que llevaban con unas tacitas pequeñitas. Y por esto llamaban a esta fiesta "la borracheras de los niños y niñas". Duraba este baile hasta la tarde.
\nEntonces se iban a sus casas, y en el patio de sus casas hacían el mismo areito. Y todos los de casa y los vecinos bebían pulcre.
\nTambién hacían otra cerimonia, que tomaban con las manos a los niños y niñas, apretándoles por las sienes. Los levantaban en alto. Decían que así los hacían crecer. Y por esto llamaban a esta fies[ta]
