<h2><a name="iii-n" id="iii-n">Notes.</a></h2>
<div class="eng">
<p>
The god Tlaloc shared with Huitzilopochtli the highest place in the
Mexican Pantheon. He was the deity who presided over the waters, the
rains, the thunder and the lightning. The annual festival in his honor
took place about the time of corn-planting, and was intended to secure
his favor for this all-important crop. Its details are described at
great length by <a name="i-d-6-1" id="i-d-6-1">Diego Duran</a>, <i class="title" lang="es">Historia de Nueva España</i>, cap. 86, and
Sahagun, <i class="title" lang="es">Historia</i>, Lib. II., cap. 25, and elsewhere. His name is
derived from <i lang="nah">tlalli</i>, earth. <a name="tlalocan-25" id="tlalocan-25"><i lang="nah">Tlalocan</i></a>, referred to in v. 5, “the
place of Tlaloc,” was the name of a mountain east of Tenochtitlan, where
the festival of the god was celebrated; but it had also a mythical
meaning, equivalent to “the earthly Paradise,” the abode of happy souls.
</p>
<p>
It will be observed that v. 10 is a repetition of v. 6. The word
<i lang="nah">ayauicalo</i> refers to the <i lang="nah">ayauhcalli</i>, <a name="i-m-11-1" id="i-m-11-1">“house of mist,”</a> the home of the
rain god, which <a name="i-s-2d-4" id="i-s-2d-4">Sahagun informs us</a> was represented at the annual
festival by <a name="i-c-1-1" id="i-c-1-1">four small buildings near the water’s edge, carefully
disposed to face the four cardinal points of the compass</a> (Sahagun, <i lang="la">ubi
supra</i>).
</p>
<p>
In v. 8 the expression <i lang="nah">tetzauhpilli</i> (<i lang="nah">tetzauhqui</i>, to frighten) may
be explained by the <a name="i-t-12d-1" id="i-t-12d-1">figure of Tlaloc</a>, whose statue, says Duran, was that
of <i lang="es">un espantable monstruo, la cara muy fea</i> (<i lang="la">ibid.</i>).
</p>
<p>
<a name="i-f-10-2" id="i-f-10-2">The compound in v. 10, <i lang="nah">nauhxiuhtica</i>,
“after four years,” appears to refer to the souls of the departed brave
ones, who, according to Aztec mythology, passed to the heaven for four
years</a>
and after that returned
to the terrestrial <a name="i-a-12a-1" id="i-a-12a-1">Paradise</a>,—the palace of Tlaloc. (See my paper, <i class="title">The
Journey of the Soul</i>, in <i class="title">Proceedings of the Numismatic and Antiquarian
Society of Philadelphia, 1883</i>.)

<div>Dear Susana,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>you will find the song of Tlaloc in Nahuatl:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-in Sahgún´s Codex Florentinius, Book II "The Ceremonies". For example
Anderson and Dibble 1981:224.</div>
<div><br>- in Sahgún´s Historia General, Book II. For example the edition
of Porrúa/Garibay 1989:174</div>
