Quiere decir esta letra: "A mi siniestra y debaxo de mi subaco te pondré." Por metáfora quiere decir: "Serás el más allegado a mí de todos. Serás otro yo." Esto decía el señor a algún pilli o tecuhtli: "Seime fiel, que yo te haré mi segundo." También la otra gente decía al que vían que era más allegado al señor y era como su intérprete, daba las respuestas de lo que él quería que se hiciese; a éste decían: "Tiénele debaxo de su brazo izquierdo y en su sobaco nuestro señor o nuestro rey."
