family.  Moreover, the daughter of the Anta chief was married to the

Inca Uira-cocha, and was the mother of Pachacuti.  Assuming, as seems

probable, that Ollantay was a son of the chief of Anta, he would be a

cousin of the Inca, and of very high rank, though not an agnate of the

reigning family.  This, I take it, is what is intended.  Pachacuti

desired to raise his family high above all others, and that,

consequently, there should be no marriages with subjects even of the

highest rank; and his excessive severity on the transgression of his

rule by his daughter is thus explained.
