Y el que primero llegaba, tomaba la estatua del ídolo que estaba arriba, hecha de masa de bledos. Tomábale la rodela y las saetas y los dardos con que estaba armado, y el instrumento con que se arrojan los dardos que se llama átlatl. Tomaba también los tamales que tenía a los lados; desmenuzábalos y arrojábalos sobre la gente que estaba abaxo. Toda la gente estaba mirando arriba; y cuando caían los pedazos de los tamales, todos estendían los brazos para tomarlos, y algunos reñían y se apuñeaban por el tomar de los pedazos. Había gran vocería sobre el tomar los pedazos que caían de arriba. Y otros tomaban los penachos que tenía sobre la cabeza la imagen o estatua, que echaba desde arriba el que había subido.
\nHecho esto, el que había subido descendíase con las armas que había tomado de arriba. En llegando abaxo, tomábanle con mucho aplauso, y llevábanle y subíanle a lo alto del cu que se llama Tlacacouhcan. Subíanle a aquel lugar muchos viejos. Allá le daban joyas o enpresas por la valentía que había hecho. Y luego todos tiraban de las maromas con gran fuerza. Echa[ban]
