They stayed there for a time sowing and harvesting, but were not content so they took up their trek until they arrived in Tamboquiro where they spent a few years. Later they arrived in Quirirmanta, at the foot of a hill. In that place a council was held among the siblings, in which they decided that Ayar Uchu should remain there transformed into a renowned huaca named Huanacauri.
In the Andean sphere, to adopt a lithic form was a way of perpetuating a divinity or making a personage sacred, therefore the stone form assumed by Uchu did not impede his communicating with his siblings.
The same chronicler mentions that Mama Huaco was one of the chiefs of the group and that in the town of Matagua, this "very strong, right hand" took two staffs of gold and threw them to the north, one fell in Colcabamba, but the hard earth did not let it to sink in. She threw the second to a piece of land named Guayanaypata where it penetrated smoothly. Other informants told Sarmiento de Gamboa that it was Manco Capac and not Mama Huaco who threw the magic cane that had to indicate the definitive settlement.
The nomadic ayllus tried to arrive at the indicated place, but met with resistance from the native people. They were forced to return to Matagua. While they remained there, Manco Capac ordered Ayar Auca to go populate the place indicated by the staff. Carrying out his brother's order, Auca flew to the place mentioned, but when his foot touched the earth, he turned into stone. According to Andean belief, the "guanca" or stones were cairns indicating the form for the possession of space. Thus it is that the lithic aspect of Auca was the first to occupy the chosen place, so long awaited, and ordered Ayar Mango from then on to be called Manco Capac. According to Sarmiento de Gamboa, in the language spoken then, "Cuzco" meant to occupy a space in a magical way. For Garcilazo, "Cuzco" was the "navel" of the world in the private language of the Incas.
Cieza de Leon uses similar terms to tell of the arrival of Manco and his people in Cuzco and adds that the neighborhood was densely populated, but that its inhabitants made a place for the recent arrivals.
The myths narrated so far, referring to the way ancient Cuzco was inhabited by the Incas, are totally different stories from the version given by Garcilazo. The legend of the Ayar, with the transformations of personages into stone or sacred "guanca", in addition to the long pilgrimage of Manco's group, are very Andean episodes which are also present in the myths of other ethnicities. The transhumance of the Incas was not of primitive bands of herders and hunters, but rather those of essentially agricultural peoples, exceedingly concerned in finding lands to cultivate.
In these narratives, one of Manco Capac's two women plays the special role we have seen in the version in which, in spite of being a woman, Mama Huaco was the commander who threw the founding staff for taking symbolic possession of Cuzco.
