Reading edition
Cogolludo says that a calabash filled with atole, some large cakes, and some maize bran, were deposited in the grave. The first, for the soul to drink on its journey; the second, for the dogs which the deceased had eaten during his life, that they might not bite him in the other world; and the last to conciliate the other animals that he had eaten. Hist. Yuc., p. 700.
