Inti and his sister-wife Mama-Quilla produced the founders of the Inca dynasty. Manco-Capac and Mama-Ocllo were sent to earth from Lake Titicaca, while Mama-Huaco joined them as a fierce warrior-priestess in the founding of Cusco.
On Inti's command, Ayar-Manco, Ayar-Cachi, Ayar-Uchu, and Ayar-Auca emerged from the cave of Tambo Toco with Mama-Huaco, Mama-Ipacura, and Mama-Raua to found the Inca state, as recorded by Sarmiento de Gamboa.
