la mantilita atada sobre el hombro, y le ciñen un maxtli. En este tiempo que estas cosas se hacen, júntanse los muzuelos de todo aquel barrio, y acabadas todas estas cerimonias entran en la casa del baptizado y toman la comida que allí les tenían aparejada. Y a ésta llamaban "el ombligo del niño". Y salían huyendo con ella. Iban comiendo de la comida que habían arrebatado. Y luego comenzaban a voces a decir el nombre del niño. Y si era su nombre Yáutl, iban diciendo: "¡Oh, Yáutl! ¡Oh, Yáutl! Vete hacia el campo de las batallas. Ponte en el medio donde se hacen las guerras. ¡Oh, Yáutl! ¡Oh, Yáutl! Tu oficio es regocijar al Sol y a la Tierra, y darlos de comer y beber. Ya eres de la suerte de los soldados que son águilas y tigres, los cuales murieron en la guerra y agora están regocijando y cantando delante del Sol." Iban también diciendo: "¡Oh, soldados! ¡Oh, gente de guerra! Venid acá; vení a comer el ombligo de Yáutl".
\nEstos muchachos representaban a los hombres de guerra, porque robaban y arrebataban la comida que se llamaba "el ombligo del niño".
\nDespués de que la partera o sacerdotisa había acabado todas las cerimonias del baptismo, metían al niño en casa y iba delante dél el hachón de teas ardiendo. Y así se acababa el baptismo.
